The Strategic Drucker

The strategy and marketing wisdom of Peter Drucker, compiled into
one handy guide
Peter Drucker was widely considered the father of modern
management. His 39 books and countless scholarly and popular
articles predicted many of the major economic developments of the
late twentieth century, and his influence upon modern business is
almost immeasurable. In The Strategic Drucker, Drucker associate
and student Robert Swaim has distilled Drucker's most important
business strategies and philosophies into one valuable book. Swaim
recounts and compiles Drucker's insight on growth, strategic
planning, sales, marketing, innovation, and a wealth of other vital
business topics. For anyone who wants to get to know the real
Drucker, without digging through all of his books and articles, The
Strategic Drucker is a valuable resource.
