Media Reviews
"'Managing in a Time of Great Change', a series of essays sandwiched between two interviews, is classic Drucker: intelligent, graceful prose that will leave some readers with a nagging sense they've heard it somewhere before." -- PeterPassell
-- New York Times Book Review
"In 'Managing in a Time of Great Change', Drucker, who has been writing provocative business books for half a century, demonstrates that he can be relied upon for more insights per volume than any of his putative heirs. This collection of his shorter writings is rich in what its title promises, dealing with subjects as varied as the special needs of family businesses, the use and misuse of teams, the role of information, and the kinds of markets now emerging." -- G. J. Meyer
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"The work has remarkable breadth: In 27 separate articles, Drucker explores everything from China's growth markets and the reinvention of government to how modern retailers have redefined their business." -- John A. Byrne
-- Business Week
