More quotes by Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
In the managerial organization, the top people sit in judgment in the innovative organization it is their job to encourage ideas, no matter how unripe or crude.
Peter Drucker
Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. SO for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
Now that knowledge is taking the place of capital as the driving force in organizations worldwide, it is all too easy to confuse data with knowledge and information technology with information.
