Last Tribute to Peter F. Drucker
The Man who invented Management. Why Peter Drucker ’s ideas still matter. When I was in my Cam-alevel back several years…hmm…not really that long. I am not that old ;p …I seriously dunno why this man ’s name keep on appearing in my business studies books. What I did was in order to pass my exam just memorized his name and what he said that is all without knowing who he was. But then, after his death on 11th November 2005, I finally realised that Peter Drucker was 
actually management guru and he contributed in every aspect of management. The best part is he can lived till 95 years old and still in the mood of producing books. Whenever people interviewed him asking him which is his best books ? He will replied " The next one!" Below is the brief bio about Peter Drucker.
1909 - Born into a highly profesional family in Vienna.
1927 - Study law in Hamburg University
1929 - Join frankfurt ’s largest daily newspaper as financial writer
1939 - 1981 - Published numerous books
1984 - Drucker argue that CEO should make no more than 20 times of the salary of the lowest paid workers ( if lowest worker salary is $ 500 then CEO salary will only be $ 10 k ? Will it ever happened in reality?)
2002 - Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush
2005 - Dies at the age of 95, having published 38 books translated into 37 languages.
My insight and thoughts about Peter Drucker was I never know who he was if he did not call home by Lord. I din not mean he should die or whatsoever. Sometime, you never know or not as famous as after passed away. This is true case. Wanna try? Just kidding =)! Datin Endon became well-known after her death. Even BBC announced that to the world. No matter what, Peter Drucker will forever remain in Management world. For those Management students…you will always bump into him (not in person…his thoughts and philopsophies ;p) although he is no longer living.Thanks to business week! Adios!
