Impressions of Peter F. Drucker: In Memory of My Teacher, Advisor, and Friend | 誠品線上

杜拉克印象: 懷念我的老師、顧問和朋友

內容簡介

內容簡介 In 1999, Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, embarked on a profound dialogue with Chinese entrepreneur Shao Minglo over a shared vision for education. Drucker made a solemn commitment: to serve as Shao’s pro bono advisor for the rest of his life. In the years that followed, the two met regularly in California to discuss management education in China, economic realities, and organizational culture—forging a deep friendship that transcended both culture and age.This book records that precious journey. It illustrates not only how Drucker translated ideas into practice, but also portrays his sincerity, warmth, and humanity. He held a deep hope for the future of management in China, remained steadfast in his belief in a “functioning society,” and, even in the final years of his life, continued to write and reflect with unwavering dedication.More than just a memorial to Peter Drucker, this volume stands as a testament to the intellectual legacy passed between a philosopher and a practitioner.

推薦序 : A Steward of Peter Drucker’s Ideas and Teachings
By Joan Drucker Winstein

Ming-Lo Shao was a student and a good friend of my father, Peter F. Drucker, during the last decade of his life. But he was much more than a “student” in the normal sense of the word. He is a conscientious and steadfast steward of Drucker’s ideas and teachings.
And, not only has Mr. Shao read and absorbed Drucker’s thoughts in a personal and meaningful way, he has adapted and applied them to his own enterprises - and he continues to expend considerable resources to make these writings relevant to business owners, educators, scholars, and executives throughout China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
In my experience working with Drucker’s publishers around the globe, since Drucker passed away over 20 years ago, Mr. Shao has promulgated Drucker’s ideas more widely than anyone else.
The urgency for creating a “functioning society” was viscerally real when Drucker wrote his book on that topic; today, in 2026, the potential breakdown of a “functioning society” is an existential threat to our entire world.
Mr. Shao’s book highlights the tremendous need for moral, courageous and compassionate leadership to equitably address the needs of all people, to create sustainable, peaceful, and equitable prosperity, just as Drucker posited over his 70 years of writing and teaching.

自序 : Peter F. Drucker, internationally recognized as the “father of modern management,” is destined to become a historical figure, gradually fading into paper and digital archives as time goes by. Generations from now, he will likely be remembered as a symbolic name—abstract and distant—much like the Buddha, Socrates, or Confucius. Written in a narrative style, this book aims to present Drucker’s more personal and human side—his warmth, sensitivity, and spirit—to complement what the symbol alone cannot convey, even if only from a limited perspective.
Few Chinese have interacted as closely with Mr. Drucker as I have. During the last six years of his life, I had the rare privilege of becoming his student, his client, and a kindred spirit—essentially, a fellow seeker of the Way. Friends and acquaintances who were aware of our relationship have often encouraged me to share my experiences, even though they know that writing does not come easily to me. I’ve hesitated until now, but as I enter the twilight of my life, I’ve come to realize that if I don’t tell my story now, it will go with me to the grave.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Yang Wurui, a deeply learned literary scholar, who generously offered his assistance in producing this work. He suggested that I speak while he handled the writing and editing. Our collaboration was seamless and joyful; in just two months, we turned a long-held wish— shared by me and many others—into reality.
Finally, I’d like to add that, much like Mr. Drucker described his memoir, Adventures of a Bystander, this book is, in many respects, something I wrote for myself. Consequently, I’ve tried not to shy away from potential controversy, choosing instead to write as honestly as possible. If my personal perspective contravenes an image of Drucker that you hold dear, I sincerely apologize and welcome your candid feedback and thoughtful corrections.
