Peter Drucker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Peter Ferdinand Drucker (November 19, 1909–November 11, 2005) was an Austrian author of numerous economics-related literature. The son of a high level civil servant in the Habsburg empire, Drucker was born in a suburb of Vienna in a small village named Kaasgraben. Following the defeat of the Austria-Hungary in World War I, there were few opportunities for employment in Vienna so he went to Germany after finishing school, first working in banking and then in journalism. He also earned a doctorate in International Law while he was there. The rise of Nazism forced him to leave Germany in 1933 and after four years in London he moved for good to the United States in 1937, where he became a professor as well as a freelance writer. In 1943, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He taught at New York University as Professor of Management from 1950 to 1971. From 1971 to his death he was the Clarke Professor of Social Science and Management at Claremont Graduate University. ..." |
