From the very beginning, in 1991, every piece in this volume was
written with this book in mind. But every single one was also pre-
published, intentionally so. It is the reaction of readers—and espe-
cially of friends all over the world, former students, present and
former clients—that ultimately determines whether a piece is wor-
thy of being included in the final book. Prepublication is, so to
speak, my market test.
For the most part, the pieces chosen appear as chapters in this
book without any change other than perhaps a new title or a resto-
ration of cuts that had to be made to fit a piece into a magazine or
newspaper. But three long pieces in this book are substantially dif-
ferent from the version in which they were published originally—
they are much longer. Chapter 21 (“A Century of Social Transfor-
mation”) was published only in an abridged version in The Atlantic
Monthly and so was chapter 25 (“Can the Democracies Win the
Peace?”). Chapter 13 (“Trade Lessons from the World Economy”)
was similarly published only in an abridged version in Foreign Affairs
magazine. The other long chapters—the two interviews that open
and close the book; chapters 1, 7, and 12 (all three first published in
the Harvard Business Review); chapter 18 (first published in Foreign
Affairs); and chapter 24 (first published in The Atlantic Monthly)—are

For half a century, Peter F. Drucker has been teacher and adviser to senior
managers in business, human service organizations, and government.
Sometimes called the godfather of modern management, he combines an
acute understanding of socioeconomic forces with practical insights into
how leaders can turn turbulence into opportunity. With a rare gift for
synthesis, Drucker nourishes his insatiable mind on a full range of intel-
lectual disciplines, from Japanese art to network theory in higher
mathematics. Yet he learns most from in-depth conversations with clients
and students: a global network of men and women who draw their ideas
from action and act on ideas.
Since 1946, when his book Concept of the Corporation redefined
employees as a resource rather than a cost, Drucker’s works have become
an ever-growing resource for leaders in every major culture, particularly
among Japan’s top decision makers in the critical stages of their rise to
world business leadership. A goodly share of productive organizations
worldwide are led by men and women who consider Drucker their intel-
lectual guide, if not their personal mentor.
