A by-product of the enormous legacy of business knowledge left by Peter F. Drucker – one of the world's most acknowledged business writers – is a collection of pithy comments which aptly sum up a situation, problem or challenge. One such is “Management by objective works – if you know the objectives. In 90 percent of the time you don't.” Quite so.
Practical implications
