Abstract

Peter Drucker has contributed so much to our thinking on management techniques and as a practising manager I have always been indebted to him for not being a “lost academic” but recognizing and stressing the part—and only the part—each scientific tool has to play in the business operation. With this admiration and large fund of goodwill I approached his latest volume with the anticipation of a further advance in the knowledge of management science. In the event I found it to be disappointing; disappointing because the subject(s) with which it deals are vital to scientists, to technologists, to educators, to the man in the street, to students, to managers and to all thinking people … and this is not a valuable contribution.
