David's Time With Peter F. Drucker 2020.2.6
CERTAIN? Yes. For this is not a book of PREDICTIONS, not a book about the FUTURE. The challenges and issues discussed in it are already with us in every one of the developed countries and in most of the emerging ones(e. g., Korea or Turkey). Theycan already be identified, discussed, analyzed and prescribed for. Some people, someplace, are already working on them. But so far very few organizations do,and very few executives. Those who do work on these challenges today and thus prepare themselves and their institutions for the new challenges, will be the leaders and dominate tomorrow. Those who wait until these challenges have indeed become "hot" issues are likely to fall behind, perhaps never to recover.——《Management Challenges for the 21st Century·Introduction》(Peter F.Drucker,1999)
