Fantastic book
This book is a fantastic read on the practice and details of management. I can scarcely think of a better book to recommend on the subject.

GREAT BOOK!
If you want to know about management, study Peter Drucker since all of his philosophies on management can still be utilized in today's modern world whereas others can't really give management a holistic structure.

Read it TWICE - and then read it again!
EVERY entrepreneur and EVERY small business owner should read this book. If you read it "way back when..."--then read it again! If you've never read it, then order it today! Drucker's advice to go out and TALK to customers and non-customers is key, especially in our email-based and Internet communications era. And Drucker's advice to help others by volunteering for nonprofit agencies is critical to your business, as well as to our communities. Bottom line is if we want people to hire us, buy from us, or invest in our companies, they have to know who we are and why they should do business with us - and they have to respect us as members of the world as well as local communities.(The reviewer is author of two books: Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing YOU and Top Cops: Profiles of Women in Command.)

The pillar of Management Practitioners
I'd always thought Management was about practice and good examples you had been lucky to receive during your career. At a certain point of my career though, evidences proved I was not confortable with that statement anymore. I felt Management had its principles, rules, laws, but I was missing the education to prove it and sustain it among coleagues, peers, and my reports. Drucker's "Management" filled that abysmal gap and gave me back the confidence that my "feelings" were not devoid of fundaments.
