Through a journey that traverses the diagnosis of totalitarianism and the search for societal salvation, these notes conne

To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989). Readers can find the source of each articles in the table of contents and editor’s note per article. Of the eight articles, only the last one is from Drucker’s works on management. The other seven are from his books on society, politics, and economics. Although the world has hailed him as the “Father of Modern Management,” he considered himself a “social ecologist.” This book will play an indispensable role in explaining the reason for that and in further understanding the foundation of faith and worldview which Druck

彼得．杜拉克（Peter F. Drucker，1909～2005年）是管理界最著名的思想家之一，被譽為「管理大師中的大師」。本書集結杜拉克發表在《哈佛商業評論》的文章，透過他在管理學的深刻思維，得以觀照當代，並找到未來。杜拉克創立「彼得杜拉克非營利管理基金會」（the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management），曾擔任13個國家的政

杜拉克著作等身，一生出了38 本書，每本都很暢銷；1974年出版的《管理：使命、責任、實務》（Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices）是他所有著作中承先啟後的扛鼎之作。本書所冠書名雖與當年的巨著相同，但在章節與內容上已與原書有很大差異。主要原因是本書的英文版在編訂上，已把杜氏1974 年後又陸續出版的24 冊著作的精華納入本書，對原書內容做了相當幅度的刪節與重新編排。因此本書事實上是一本杜氏所有著作的精華版合輯。《管理： 任務、責任、實務》（Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices）初版於1973 年問世。此後32 年間，杜拉克持續寫作、教學、擔任管理顧問。本修訂版加入1974 至2005 年間，杜拉克發表的有關管理這個主題的著作，更新了初版內容。第一至第五部論述經理人的責任，以及組織的領導團隊的責任。第六至第九部論述盡責的經理人，必須做到的無數相互關聯的任務與實務。第十部詳述資訊革命及知識型社會的進步，對經理人與管理層的新要求。這些新要求在初版有預示，但並未充分論述。修訂版沿襲初版，是針對多種讀者而寫。經驗豐富的高階主管及顧問，或可在面對特定問題或課題時，把本書當做參考之用。運用本書各項洞見最有效的方法，便是付諸實際應用。這是從管理的諸多原則中獲得最多價值的方式。新進經理人則應該設法把書中談論的議題，連結到本身的職位或組織上，這樣做時要很用心。這些原則在長達65 年期間，全都在實際組織中成功實行過。因此，如果你能把原則與實務融會貫通，你會有更多體悟。所以新進經理人應著眼於自身特有的責任，好好思考每一章的內容。第六部至第九部或許會立即讓他們有切身的體悟。
