Peter F. Drucker's management thought in the age of digitalization and sustainability

Understanding Peter F. Drucker

Abstract

This article on Peter F. Drucker, an influential figure in the field of management as a master strategist, explores his personal background, works, management approach, the public's perspective on Drucker, and the new discourses he introduced. Drucker, who developed insights into the most difficult-to-manage entity: the human being, has significantly benefited for-profit businesses in particular. His distinctive approach to innovation and entrepreneurship, which distinguishes him from other managers, has made him a prominent figure in this field and made a difference. His concept of management by objectives has also presented businesses with a permanent, not temporary, management system. The literature review relied heavily on foreign sources rather than Turkish literature, as this topic has received limited coverage in Turkish literature. Furthermore, Drucker is mentioned in this article for his detailed examination of the concept of strategy. In this context, Drucker developed ideas that helped businesses examine their vision and look to the future with confidence, guiding them toward successful outcomes through strategic goals and objectives.
