This was assigned in an Advanced Topics Project Management class in my grad certificate program for PM. It wasn't completely miserable, but the new certainties were not as profound as I would expect from the text. Maybe this one went over my head but most of it was dull reading.

The last chapter on managing oneself is very good. Crux of the book - - - over the past few years, and especially over the coming years, the nature of work is changing.Knowledge workers, flexible work, difficult to measure work, the role of the boss and subordinate, loss of manual labour, and the importance of managing oneself to become better at work and life.The current structure of most organisations is based on the factory work and the office work - and that foundation is changing. Difficult...

My first "Drucker," so I didn't know what to expect. He's spot on with the knowledge worker concepts and how different these types of jobs and careers are turning out as opposed to 20th-century models. I didn't fully understand some of the accounting/financial management content, but I really enjoyed it when Drucker pulled in historical examples of companies and global leaders. He's got a weird editing/layout style, like some paragraphs are indented and some words in all caps, couldn't quite fig...

Excellent, high level overview of the upcoming challenges of management worldwide.

A great book. The ideas are not new but the context is. And Drucker explains it all in simple sentences, with relevant real life examples and drives home the points very effectively as always. A must read for all modern day mangers in all spheres of social activity.

I feel the most important factor for me to buy/read this book was the fact, it was written by Drucker, whom some refer to as the father of modern management, and the tittle was about the future challenges. And also, my “initiation” to this book through the pre-published version of Chap 6 in HBR. Now, I beg to differ from many that have to say this book is easy to understand. This was one of the few books that I had to try vv. hard to keep my “flow” and concentration. One reason, I could attribut...

Well, it is a classical Drucker book, it just isn't really so interesting. I mean it has some really interesting chapters and it does have some good knowledge. However, a lot of time the same things are repeated in multiple chapters and the writing becomes stale. He has had better books.

Very insightful re career transitions etc by famous management author. It gives big picture of change management and works from world issues down to individual.

A book written for thought. As written by Peter Drucker this book does not present any definitive truth, but only tracks for thinking. Ideas are bright and still valid 10 years after writing.On tghe downside, it has the taste of something not complete.Maybe due to its translation in French, language is sometimes awkward, sentences are not really fluid.

I have to rate this as a 5 again for Drucker. Peter Drucker is visionary and intuitively prophetic in his style and arguments. I often find myself being mildly amazed by the strongly relevant perceptiveness he brings out in his writing and wishing I were able to have such insight and perspicacity in my own reasoning and thinking. As I alluded to with the other Drucker book I reviewed on this website (The Essential Drucker), I think he is worth reading even if you are not very interested in manag...

Peters concept of the "knowledge worker" in the 21st century. I have managed developers, engineers, and product managers most of my adult life, and this book helped me understand why they do the things they do, and what motivates them. This is a great read.Tom Ryker (author - http://tomryker.com/)

DRUCKER, Peter F. Management challenges for the 21 st century. Ljubljana: GV ZALOŽBA. 2001. ISBN 86-7061-248-8.

Ok, if I had read this book in 1999/2000 when it was first published, I'd probably have rated it 4* or 5*. In fact, Drucker was truly far-sighted considering this was written more than 20 years ago when the impact of the internet wasn't yet clear. I'm giving it 3* because:1. I'm reading it in 2021 and it does sound a little dated in some parts.2. It's quite hard to read with all the CAPS inserted everywhere. And the language is somewhat old-school and abstract/hard to digest. Basically, there ar...

Great book that may save your career

I had managed a small team of developers in IT department. It was a little overwhelming and I didn't quite enjoy it. The management concepts covered in this book are still eye opening to me. I wish I had read this book five years ago. Maybe I could be a better manager or have chosen a different career path.The best part of this book I think is 'The Second Half of Your Life' in Chapter 6. Managing Oneself. It is something I can apply to my life now.Great book!

Yleissivistävä, terävä, oivaltava, hauska ja yllättävän ajankohtainen kirja (vuodelta 1999), joka johtamisen sijaan käsitteli isoja yhteiskunnallisia muutoksia tulevaisuudessa.

كنت متشوق لقراءة خلاصة عطاء العالم بيتر دروكر في كتابه تحديات الإدارة إلا أن اسلوب السرد والتفصيل الممل يحول بينك وبين ما تريده وما تتوقعه من الكتاب، كثير ما يذكر شركة جينيرال موتورز كمثال في التحديات الإدارية، وقليلة تلك المواضيع التي تشد الإنتباه كالإدارة الذاتية ونماذج الإدارة الجديدة وضف عليها إدارة النصف الثاني من العمر .

بصراحة انا استمتعت جدا بالكتاب هو علمنى اية اولا ان المجتمع الاقتصادى الرأسمالى هينهار و هيحل محلها العامل المعرفى ثانيا ان الانسان دايما بيختار ومهنته فى سنة المراهقة و غالبا بتكون غلط ف الافضل ان الواحد يشتغل فى حاجات كتيرة و منها يقدر يعرف ايه هى مصادر قوته مش العكس ثالثا الموظف لازم تتعامل معاه ع اساس ان المهمة هى اللى بتقود الموارد البشرية و ان الادارة مش بس للاعمال التجارية و اهم حاجة تقدير العميل للمنتج حتى لو كان رخيص و لا يوجد.شى اسمه الاستحواذعلى شركة لانها سوف تؤدى الى كوارث بتحمل كل

Amazing! I don't believe Drucker wrote this back in 1999, seems even more relevant today, and he seems to understand that redefining tasks lead to institutional change. This is going to be my favorite Drucker quote. "So far, for fifty years, Information Technology has centered on DATA -their collection, storage, transmission, presentation. It has focused on the 'T' in 'IT'. The new information revolutions focus on the 'I'. They ask, 'What is the MEANING of information and its PURPOSE?' And this

Bra Peter Drucker-bok där han tittar in i framtiden för att se hur ledarskap behöver förändras. Nu skrevs den 2000 och utgångspunkten nu 2017 är annorlunda. Men boken tittar också bakåt för att kunna se framåt. Som med alla Drucker-böcker vimlar det av exempel från affärsvärlden både positiva sådana och negativa.
