Learn moreThis is the first book to present innovation and entrepreneurship as a purposeful and systematic discipline. It clearly explains and analyzes the challenges and opportunities of America’s new entrepreneurial economy. Peter Drucker, the most influential and widely-read thinker and writer on modern organizations, gives us a superbly practical book that explains what established businesses, public service institutions, and new ventures have to know, have to learn, and have to do in today’s economy and marketplace.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship deals with “what, when and why,” policies and decisions, opportunities and risks, structures and strategies, staffing, and compensation and rewards. In addition to managers in all types of business, lecturers and students of management and business studies will find this a revealing and exciting work. Highly critical in approach, it is nevertheless a practical and illuminating study of an area crucial for today’s world.
Peter F. Drucker (1909–2005), author of over thirty-five books, is considered one of the most influential originators of business management, whose ideas have shaped the modern corporation. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002.
Michael Wells is a playwright, actor, and musician. He lives in New York City.
Reviews
“Drucker now adds Innovation and Entrepreneurship to the remarkable series of books about management that he has been writing since 1939. Any book by Drucker is rewarding, and it is impossible to read the man without learning a lot.”
“Our most enduring commentator on the practice of management and the economic institutions of society.”
“On bookshelves crowded with books on management principles and practice and promising success and profit to their purchasers, this book stands head and shoulders above the rest.”
“Thoughtful, concise, and useful.”
“This work is unique...a thoughtful analysis of what the future holds...a clear statement of principles with many supporting examples. Essential for all business collections.”
