杜拉克所說的「新社會」，是指超越了傳統意義上的資本主義和社會主義。這樣的「新社會」不是一定要達到永垂不朽或完美無缺，也不是要追求純粹的理想主義，而是一個能讓當代人安身立命且過得有價值、有意義的社會。人們過度追求並依賴政治的各種「主義」，卻輕忽人性尊嚴和公民精神，這是荒唐可笑的，因為任何主義都不能治好當代邪惡之頑疾，不能解救人之精神危機，不能喚醒麻木的道德，無法替代先知去呼喚悔悟，甚至無法替代詩人吟誦尊嚴。杜拉克的「新社會」觀不落俗套，拒絕功利主義，帶有強烈的反烏托邦的色彩。杜拉克關於工業社會理論的闡述主要見於如下三部佳作：1942 年《工業人的未來》、1946年《公司的概念》以及首版於1950 年的《新社會》，堪稱杜拉克工業社會理論「三部曲」。《工業人的未來》前瞻性地討論了第二次世界大戰後可能出現的工業社會組織狀況以及組織管理的問題等，他相信「企業會成為工業社會的主體」，一個自由而正常運作的工業社會的新觀念、新理想、新邏輯能夠成就新的西方文明，工業秩序和管理原則會深刻影響社會政治結構。《公司的概念》是杜拉克的第一部「管理學專著」，提出企業應該在「地方分權制度」基礎上建立「能夠自我管理的工廠社區」，培養「願意負責任的員工」，建立「品質管理小組」，提升企業的整體績效和員工的工作生活品質。《新社會》是前兩本著作的發展和進深，書名有個副標題〈工業秩序剖析〉（The Anatomy of Industrial Order），這是該書的點睛之筆，旨在探討新社會中工業企業的管理和秩序。全書九個部分都圍繞工業秩序原則展開，即工業企業、經濟衝突、管理層與工會、工廠社區、管理層的職能、消除無產階級、組織的聯邦制度、工廠社群自治、工會之公民精神。工業社會的主要理念是「工業人或工業群體的生存與工作邏輯」，核心內容是「工業社會秩序和管理原則」。杜拉克把個人放入社會組織結構中，組織只是表面，個體的人是實質─工業社會的組織學、自由社會的政治原則，以及知識社會的管理都必須基於人，企業組織最需要具有創業精神的人、善於創新的人和勇於承擔風險的人。

A popular book that had been circulating in East Asia since the fourteenth century, it was used for children's enlightenment and moral guidance. It collected proverbs and warnings from various texts which were meant to cultivate moral character and advise on choices in life. When Hokkien people arrived in Manila in late sixteenth century for trade and settlement, they also brought books of daily use like this one to Manila.

PREFACEMy father’s escape from―and opposition to―totalitarianism dominated much of his writing. It permeated his beliefs about the empowerment of individuals, and the moral responsibility of organizationsto empower the individuals within their sphere.This collection emphasizes the principles of human choice, dignity; self-worth; and society’s role to achieve these ends, within a fair and equitable system.It was based on this shared belief system that my father and Ming Lo Shao developed a warm friendship―a friendship nurtured and maintained, with mutual respect, for many years until my father’s passing in 2005.This collection demonstrates the timeliness of my father’s writings, and their applicability to some of the critical situations facing our world today, almost 90 years after they were first penned.The Drucker family thanks Ming Lo Shao for his work in creating this anthology, and for his dedication to keeping Drucker’s writings alive and relevant for a new generation.Joan Drucker
