This is not a well known book of Drucker, but probably the most amazing one. It talks about portfolio planning, activity based costing, capabilities analysis, EVA etc without any of the jargon and at least a decade or two before the concepts were picked up by other gurus or consulting firms. I am sure any student of management or practicing consultant will find this book invaluable.

However many or few books of management you intend to read, make sure this is one of them

This book, together with something like My Years with General Motors might be all the literature about management one absolutely must read.
It is fairly compact (~200 pages), written in a reasonably straightforward language and captures pretty much all the aspects that a manager needs to be aware off or on top off. The shocking revelation is that this book, first published in 1964 has practically not age at all - a statement to its lasting and timeless value. Some examples might no longer be modern and some companies no longer exist but the principles behind what made them great back then all still stand.
Don't bother with The One Minute Manager and similar, just get yourself something that will actually equip you with the toolset to be a good manager!

I have read this book at least once a year for the last ten years, and as a consultant used the ideas in it to create millions of pounds of value for clients.
It is less accessible than most of Drucker's books. The language is as straightforward as ever, but the concepts need serious work to master. The effort, however, will be repaid many times.
