Peter Drucker

On November 19, 1909, Peter Drucker was born in Hungry Austria. His parents
are both of Jewish descent. His father Adolf Drucker was a lawyer who also
holds a high position in the government, and his mother Caroline Bondi studied
medicine. Actually, he grew up in an environment where high-ranking
government officials and scientists regularly gathered to discuss cutting-edge
concepts. He relocated to Hamburg, a city in Germany, after earning his degree
from the Dobling Gymnasium University in 1927 and finding some new career
options during World War 1.

His first employment was with a cotton trading company, and after that, he
worked as a journalist and writer for Austrian economists. Drucker then
relocated to Frankfurt, where he took up a part-time job while finishing his
doctorate in international and public law at the Goethe University Frankfurt in
1931.

He relocated to London in 1933, spent some time working for an insurance

company there, then departed to join and begin working as the chief economist
in a private bank. Following that, they offered him a job in the United States as a
university lecturer, and he began working as a freelance writer and business
consultant. After obtaining US citizenship in 1943, Drucker spent the most of his
time as a teacher, first spending 22 years as a management professor at New
York University from 1950 to 1971. He taught politics and philosophy at
Benning ton College from 1942 to 1949. After relocating to California in 1971,
Drucker established Claremont Graduate School, the university's first executive
MBA program for working professionals. From 1971 until his death in 1987, he
held the position of Clarke Professor of Social Science and Management at the
Claremont Colleges. In 1987, the Claremont Graduate University's management
department was renamed the Peter Drucker Graduate School of Management in
his honor. He established the Claremont Graduate University's Drucker Archives
in 1999, and the institution later changed its name to the Drucker Institute. Even
after he retired from teaching at the age of 92 in 2002, Drucker continued to
work as a consultant for businesses and charitable institutions. In the end,
Drucker passed away peacefully in Claremont, California, in November 2005 at
the age of 95. When Drucker passed away in October 2014 at the age of 103, her
wife Doris had left him four children.

Writings: 

More than 36 different languages have been used to translate

Drucker's 39 works. Adventures of a Bystander, published in 1978, is
an autobiography; the other two are novels. He produced eight sets of
instructional DVDs on management-related topics in addition to co-
authoring a book on Japanese painting. He also contributed a weekly
commentary to the Wall Street Journal for ten years. His contributions
to the Harvard Business Review were likewise frequent. Since the
publication of What If the Female Manager of a High School Baseball
Team Read Drucker's Management, a novel in which the main
character makes excellent use of one of his books, which was also
adapted into an anime and a live action film, his books have become
increasingly popular in Japan, according to The Atlantic Monthly and
The Economist.
