Editorial Reviews

'After an introduction by Western Australia based editors John C. Wood and Michael C. Wood, 27 articles and excerpts about the life and work of the eminent economist and highly influential business management guru are presented. Reprinted from journals and books published between 1965 and 2004, the selections discuss various aspects of Drucker’s philosophy; his ideas and influence in the realms of management, government, and information; and his ideas in the context of European business, Germany in particular, as well as Japan and the US. An annotated bibliography (70 pages) lists Drucker’s publications and offers a literature review citing references in chronological order and grouped under topic headings, as well as alphabetically by author. The volume is not indexed.' Reference & Research Book News
