About this ebook
Following in the successful vein of Managing for the Future (1992) and Managing in a Time of Great Change (1995), the incomparable Peter Drucker is back with fresh thoughts, insights, and knowledge about the ever-changing business society around us and the ever-expanding management roles required of us all-chiefs, executives, managers, and knowledge workers alike.
Two main themes are explored in many of the chapters in Managing in the Next Society: the rapidly expanding information shock wave that had its Internet Big Bang as recently as 1995; and the changing shape of our society to come-six major trends that are rapidly transforming our world into what Peter Drucker calls The Next Society.

As always, I don't agree with everything he wrote, but Peter Drucker was a genius in his own way and I always find his writing interesting and thought provoking. He's one person I really would have liked to have met. He has inspired so many of us who think about history, organizational development, and the study of society as interconnected disciplines.
