'The idea alone is good: two old men, the American management guru Peter F. Drucker and the Japanese tycoon Isao Nakauchi, enter into a dialogue. The book that emerges from this is even better...Drucker knows so much, and views the economic situation more from the outside. Nakauchi can do so much, which means of course that he is right in the thick of it. An ideal mix for all future entrepreneurs, as the founders of tomorrow must achieve both: theoretical reflection and hands-on creativity.' Manager, October 1996 'Peter Drucker was the first of the analytical futurists and the first of the management philosophers. And for me he is still the best.' Wall Street Journal 'His breadth of vision, his internationalism and his sober realism combine to make his analysis of the present and predictions about the future gripping.' The Economist '...Drucker, the most enduring management thinker of our time.' Business Week '...it would be difficult to overestimate his contribution to management thinking.' Financial Times
