Negative Positive
Title: It really addressed the challenges of the mid-1990s
Review: The book was disappointing since what Mr. Drucker views as the management challenges of the 21st century are really the management challenges that have been with us for most of this decade. For example, his "new paradigms" include the aging population and the increase in shareholder influence. His "new challenges" include the increased availability of information, managing knowledge workers and the constantly changing organisation. This is hardly insightful to anyone who has managed, or simply worked, in a corporation in the last decade. One bright light - the final chapter on "Managing Oneself" is like a nice pep talk from a favourite grandfather.
Is the review positive or negative?
