“Concept of the Corporation” by Peter Drucker first published in 1945 now available in paper back from amazon.com www.amazon.com/Concept-Corporation-Peter-Drucker/dp/1560006250
The first modern management book. He introduced previously unknown concepts such as cooperation between labor and management, decentralization of management, and viewing workers as resources rather than costs. Drucker wrote more than 30 books, which have been translated into 25 languages. His books generally break down into three areas: social and political studies, such as The Future of Industrial Man and The Age of Discontinuity: Guidelines to Our Changing Society ; management books like The Practice of Management and
Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices ; and management advice like Management for Results and The Effective Executive. Managing for the Future: The 1990s and Beyond (1992).
“The Practice of Management”
www.amazon.com/Practice-Management-Peter-F-Drucker/dp/0060878975/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b
Introduced the concept of "management by objectives." Requires managers to establish goals for their subordinates and devise the means for measuring results. Every worker must be given the tools "to appraise himself, rather than be appraised and controlled from the outside." Management by objectives has become an accepted business concept and is probably Drucker's most important contribution.
