More quotes by Peter Drucker
What gets measured gets managed.
Peter Drucker
No financial man will ever understand business because financial people think a company makes money. A company makes shoes, and no financial man understands that. They think money is real. Shoes are real.
Peter Drucker
Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.
Peter Drucker

Peter Drucker
To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.
Peter Drucker
The basic economic resource - the means of production - is no longer capital, nor natural resources, nor labor. It is and will be knowledge.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
Peter Drucker
Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.
Peter Drucker
Succession planning often results in the selection of a weaker representation of yourself.
Peter Drucker
More business decisions occur over lunch and dinner than at any other time, yet no MBA courses are given on the subject.
Peter Drucker
Tomorrow always arrives. It is always different. And even the mightiest company is in trouble if it has not worked on the future. Being surprised by what happens is a risk that even the largest and richest company cannot afford, and even the smallest business need not run.
Peter Drucker
