When Peter Drucker passed away in 2005, he was heralded - as he was for decades prior - as the "father of modern management." Drucker's writings helped to develop management as both a profession and an academic discipline during the past half century. Despite these acknowledged contributions, Drucker's influence seems to be missing from current conversations we have in management as a practice, and even more so in management as a research subject. We began exploring Peter Drucker's teachings last semester in CIMBA's Introduction to Management class. Students reported that this class opened their eyes to view management in ways that they had never considered before; many said they would devote more of their future studies to the discipline of management. This semester we'll continue our emphasis on Drucker's lessons and hopefully create a process that leads to better managers for our future.
