Vienna November 2012, Palace Ferstel, in the grand settings of the Palace, memories of Menger, Hayek, Freud and Kohr laced with Elizabeth Of Austria presence are lingering. Mitteleuropa no more…or actually more than ever? This is the gala dinner of the 4th Peter Drucker Forum, the Austrian- born writer, teacher and consultant, who was once tagged as “the Man who invented management.” He liked to call himself a “social ecologist” – i.e. someone who deals with the man-made social environment in which we operate.   For two days last week, an eclectic mix of close to three hundred corporate executive, entrepreneurs and prominent members of Academia from all over the world gathered at the heart […]

By the end, I felt more optimistic about business and social enterprises than I ever have.   We pondered the basic question that Peter Ducker often asked when he worked with managers: “What is needed?” And we took on the tougher question that Drucker used to close every conversation: “What are we going to do about it?”   What is needed?   No matter what their ages or backgrounds, participants agreed that the foremost challenge around the globe is youth unemployment.   Lynda Gratton  of the […]

“Capitalism 2.0 Leadership and Paradox Management”
Guest Blog Post by Stephen Rhinesmith

The globalized world of 2012 is locked in a debate about the appropriate role of corporations. Should corporations continue to have as their primary purpose the maximization of “shareholder value,” (Capitalism 1.0) or should they also be concerned also about creating “shared value” for the societies in which they operate and the world as a whole? (Capitalism 2.0).

Work-family balance is one […]
