5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Way To Deepen Your Understanding Of Peter Drucker, 24 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Jack Beatty has taken on a very difficult task here: Capturing the essence of the world's most successful and prolific business thinker and author. I think that he succeeded very well, and certainly added to my understanding of Peter Drucker's writing. Having read many of Drucker's articles and books, I was astonished to find out how many important works I had missed. I appreciate having Jack Beatty open my eyes. In the year since I first read this book, I have read more Drucker than in the last 20 years. This has been a good benefit from THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PETER DRUCKER. I am one of the people mentioned in the book, during the chapter about Professor Drucker's consulting practice, and I found Mr. Beatty has really captured the essence of the man in a way that no other books or articles do. I salute Jack Beatty for having made a great gift to us all, and urge you to buy, read, and use the book to guide your study of Peter Drucker.

2.0 out of 5 stars save money, buy a Drucker original, 10 Dec 1998
By A Customer
The GWU/Richmond book club found this book tedious and hard to read. The author seemed more intent on demonstrating his extensive vocabulary than in protraying Drucker. He (the author) came off as pompous, and lost several readers in the first chapter. Those of us who plowed through the book found the Drucker quotes to be, by far, the best part.
