More quotes by Peter Drucker
Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two - and only these two — basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results all the rest are 'costs'.
Peter Drucker
One cannot hire a hand the whole man always comes with it.
Peter Drucker
When it rains manna from heaven, some people put up an umbrella. Others reach for a big spoon.
Peter Drucker
Most of what you hear about entrepreneurshi p is all wrong. It's not magic it's not mysterious and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.
Peter Drucker
In todays economy, the most important resource is no longer labor, capital or land it is knowledge
Peter Drucker
The young knowledge worker whose job is too small to challenge and test his abilities either leaves or declines rapidly into premature middle age, soured, cynical, unproductive.
Peter Drucker
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
Peter Drucker
Teaching 23-year-olds in an MBA programme strikes me as largely a waste of time. They lack the background of experience. You can teach them skills - accounting and what have you - but you can't teach them management.
Peter Drucker
Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
Peter Drucker
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter Drucker
There are only two things in a business that make money - innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.
Peter Drucker
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
Peter Drucker
Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.
Peter Drucker
The Welfare State, which begun in Imperial Germany for the truly indigent and disabled, has now become everybody's entitlement and an increasing burden on those who produce.
Peter Drucker
Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.
Peter Drucker
Effective people are not problem minded they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.
Peter Drucker
Concentration is the key to economic results. No other principle of effectiveness is violated as constantly today as the basic principle of concentration.... Our motto seems to be, Let's do a little bit of everything.
Peter Drucker
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
Plastic moments are those periods that overlap when the old has gone but the new has not yet arrived and when the course of history is more open to being shaped and steered than any other time.
Peter Drucker
What we need is an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and entrepreneurship are normal, steady and continuous.
Peter Drucker
