Peter Drucker’s management philosophy was, and is still considered to this present day as revolutionary, described as a man ‘Who could see around corners’ Richard Straub briefly discusses how history was a prominent and integral element to all Drucker wrote.

The article outlines not only how Drucker has created management strategies relevant for todays and tomorrows practices but he was one of the first who saw management as a human enterprise. Straub also mentions that on deeper analyses of Drucker’s writings one would get an insight into the wider social context in which management operates. This article will be useful in my writings as it outlines Drucker’s impact on management thinking and summarises the fundamental basis of Drucker’s writings in a straightforward simplistic manner. Straub is the president of the ‘Peter Drucker society of Austria’ so unsurprisingly the article is written portraying Drucker in a favourable way.
