More quotes by Peter Drucker
I find more and more executives less and less well informed about the outside world, if only because they believe that the data on the computer printouts are ipso facto information.
Peter Drucker
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny.
Peter Drucker
If you have too many problems, maybe you should get out of business. There is no law that says a company must last forever.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
The individual needs the return to spiritual values, for he can survive in the present human situation only by reaffirming that man is not just a biological and psychological being but also a spiritual being, that is creature, and existing for the purposes of his Creator and subject to Him.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
Increasingly, politics is not about who gets what, when, how but about values, each of them considered to be absolute. Politics is about the right to life...It is about the environment. It is about gaining equality for groups alleged to be oppressed...None of these issues is economic. All are fundamentally moral.
Peter Drucker
With Christianity, freedom and equality became the two basic concepts of Europe they are themselves Europe.
Peter Drucker
Mission defines strategy, and strategy defines structure.
Peter Drucker
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Peter Drucker
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.
Peter Drucker
During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned - not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value.
Peter Drucker
True marketing starts...with the customer, his demographics, his realities, his needs, his values. It does not ask, What do we want to sell? It asks, What does the customer want to buy?
Peter Drucker
