In the world of management, Peter Drucker is known as a management thinker or a guru who has invented the philosophy of management. Even at the age of 92, he continues to teach and write, and advise corporations. In this article, the author talks about Peter Drucker, his philosophy on management, his beliefs about organizations (both private and government) and the employees.

Peter F Drucker, the man who "invented the philosophy of management" was born in 1909 in Vienna. At the age of 17, he moved to Germany and started working as an apprentice clerk and later as a trainee economist in the Frankfurt branch of a Wall Street brokerage house.

In 1931, he obtained his doctorate in public and international law, while working as a newspaper reporter, from the University of Frankfurt. He then took up a dual career as a teacher of law and as an editor and financial writer for a Frankfurt newspaper.

In early 1933, he completed his first serious work, a monograph, that was interpreted by the Nazis as a complete rejection of their philosophy. They banned the treatise when they came to power after a few weeks of its publication. He then fled to England where he spent the next four years as a journalist. He also worked as an economist for an international bank in London.
