The fundamental difference between Drucker and GM was the GM saw the workforce as a cost, while  Drucker saw them as a resource. With GM business model he questioned whether the current corporation policies and procedure would continue to work in a future of global competition, changing social values, automation, the drive for quality and the growth of the knowledge worker. He brought attention to

  • How the layers of bureaucracy slowed down decision making, and suggested that the GM hierarchy of commands and controls would be slow to respond in a rapidly changing future.
  • The inefficiency of the assembly line
  • How Policies created adversarial labor relations and De-motivation
  • The relationship between the employee and the organization
  • The need for continual training and retraining and self development of managers
  • The social and environmental responsibility of the organization
  • The imperatives of community and customer relations.


In his book the "Practice of Management" he identified 8 management performance measurements

  1. Market standing
  2. Innovation
  3. Productivity
  4. Physical and financial resources
  5. Profitability
  6. Managers' performance and development
  7. Workers' performance and attitude
  8. Public responsibility

Drucker highlights the new realities of changing population demographics, the emergence of global markets,  new world economy and employee society His identify the new management challenges

  • In the knowledge organization, the "supervisor" has to become an "assistant," a "resource," a "teacher."
  • No need for "middle management".
  • Top management that will have to restructure itself to meet the challenges
  • Top management will have a lead in social responsibility
