Learning from a classic: Peter Drucker’s approach

    Dear colleagues,

    we would like to draw your attention to a new Phd course about the work and legacy of Peter Drucker (1909- 2005). He ranks among the most influential management thinkers and is referred to as father of modern management. He was the first to outline basic principles of what is today considered up-to-date management knowledge. To this day, CEO's around the globe follow his lead and his insights are continuingly popular in day-to-day-business. Even at an advanced age, he was incredibly productive. In 1997, not long before his 90th birthday, Forbes magazine praised him as «Still the YOUNGEST MIND». The course focuses on selected basic research of his comprehensive works (38 books): Which are his normative points of departure? What characterizes his style of writing? Why does he vehemently challenge business ethics of his time?

     

    Please find attached a course description. We are more than happy to welcome Phd students from all over the place, who are interested in getting a deeper understanding of Drucker's ideas and why they may still stand the test of time (cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bykN7wp9A9w ) .

     

    With best regards

    André Habisch & Timo Meynhardt
