Summary: Still the best
Review: I think Drucker, even after all these years, still stands head and shoulders above the other management gurus, writers, and flash-in-the-pans that we've seen in recent decades. His thoughts and insights are still the most profound in the business and this recent book is no exception.

Summary: Good Quick Read to Get A Dose of His Ideas
Review: This is a nice book that I have read from time to time. It is a somewhat academic guide to the handling or the managing the problems of a company or organization during times of stress. It is not a "Dummies Guide to ...", but it is more philosphical with broader guidelines. I like his one point about keeping three months of cash available or liquid assets to maintain liquidity during the crisis. When I was a student in Boston I had a famous economics Professor and he kept repeating "add 10% for uncertainty" - the three months is something that sticks in one's mind years later and is always a good guide.

Good book in the Drucker style, and one of his shorter books.

This text develops themes of singular interest , such as the possibilities of surviving of the worker syndicates , the new markets of consume , the deceitful ciphers of unemployment or the necessities of workmanship in the developed countries and those in ways to be.
