Applicable Quotations

“The question of tomorrow’s management is, above all, a concern of our society.

Let me put it bluntly – we have reached a point where we simply will not be able to tolerate as a country, as a society, as a government, the danger that one of our major companies will decline or collapse because it has not made provisions for management succession”

Peter Drucker, Author
