About Peter F. Drucker
Management Expert, Author and Teacher
(1909 – 2005)
Peter Drucker’s career spanned more than six decades.
Valued for keen insight and the ability to convey his ideas
in popular language, Drucker authored 39 books, which
have been translated into more than 30 languages, on
organizational behavior, innovation, economy, and
society.
Central to his philosophy is the view that people are an
organization’s most valuable resource, and that a
manager’s job is to prepare and free people to perform.
Dr. Drucker cared not just about how business manages
its resources, but also how public and private
organizations operate morally and ethically within society.
Drucker’s groundbreaking work turned modern
management theory into a serious discipline, and he
influenced or created nearly ever facet of its application,
including decentralization, privatization, and
empowerment, and has coined such terms as the
“knowledge worker.”

London in 1933 to escape Hitler’s Germany. Four years
later, he married Doris Schmitz.
The couple departed for the United States and in the US,
Drucker served on the faculty at several universities. He
then spent two years studying the management structure
of General Motors which led to his book “Concept of the
Corporation,” an immediate bestseller in the US and
Japan. From 1950-1971 Drucker was a professor of
management at the Graduate Business School of New
York University where he was awarded the Presidential
Citation, the university’s highest honor.

not-for-profit organizations. He worked with many of the
world’s largest corporations, with small entrepreneurial
companies, with nonprofits and with agencies of
government including the US, Canada, and Japan.
In July 2002, Drucker was awarded the Presidential Medal
