197 1 In the autumn of, Drucker left the Graduate School of Business School of new york University, where he taught for more than 20 years, and went to teach a senior management training course at the Graduate School of California, Los Angeles. This university not only had little influence at that time, but even now it ranks outside the 50th in the ranking of American business schools.

This choice reflects his growing dissatisfaction with management research and teaching at that time. He believes that management should be a comprehensive humanities discipline, not a combination of some sub-disciplines. Clairmont Graduate School also followed his management philosophy, where students should study not only economics and management, but also history, sociology, law and natural science.

This academic training mode follows the tradition of European universities and embodies the essential requirements of management. That is, management should not only be the training of some skills, but also the overall understanding of human beings, society and enterprises. Management should not be just some theoretical and academic research, but should be used to solve problems that society and enterprises need to solve.

It is for this reason that Drucker's works have been highly praised by many entrepreneurs. Andy Grove, the founder of Intel, made no secret of his admiration for Drucker. "peter drucker is a hero in my heart. His works and thoughts are so clear and powerful that they are unique in the management circles who are crazy about pursuing fashion ideas. " Jack Welch also attributed his important corporate decisions to Drucker, who believed that the "first and second" principles that integrated the first core idea of GE 198 1 came from peter drucker.

Fortunately, great entrepreneurs like Andy Grove and Bill Gates and great managers like Jack Welch and Zhang Ruimin actively practice his theory, thus irrefutably proving its value. These achievements are also in line with Drucker's consistent view: "Management is a practice, its essence lies not in knowledge but in action, and its verification lies not in logic but in results."

Although Drucker founded modern management science, I'm afraid even he didn't expect that today's management science has entered such a highly differentiated academic research. An associate professor of management, who asked not to be named, told the reporter that although most of the current management academic papers meet strict academic norms, their value is not recognized by the business community and has no practical value.

Other management masters who followed Drucker have not been recognized by the mainstream in the management field, including Jim Collins, the author of Building the Last [1] and From Excellence to Excellence [2], tom peters, the author of Pursuing Excellence, and Peter Shengji, the author of the Fifth Discipline. Take Peter Senge as an example. He is only a senior lecturer at MIT now!
