Peter Ducker Forum

How Can Managers Shape the Future?

Vienna (AT), September 2011 - Are we at the dawn of a new management paradigm? Can management combine the creation of economic value with social value? The third Global Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna on 03 - 04 November 2011 will provide the platform for a dialogue about "what needs to be done" in this regard and "how to get there." Concrete cases and initiatives will be presented and discussed.




Continuing to focus only on shareholder value and short-term financial results will not be adequate to tackle the huge challenges of the future. Neither will quixotic fights against the momentum of governance systems nor romantic do-gooder approaches.



What is the latest thinking in this field and what are credible examples to make it work? Discuss the answers in an event moving beyond conventional wisdom and preconceived opinions. Learn from world-leading practitioners and academics and participate in a dialogue that will extend beyond the event itself.
