Overview

Change has become a constant. Changes in the way we live and work. Changes in institutions and the society around us. Changes in people's needs and desires. For more than 60 years, Peter Drucker has been modern society's preeminent thinker, lecturer, and writer of and about change and its effect on management.
Now, at the start of the 21st century, this major new title takes the listener into two broad areas of life today: first, the information society and its new and vastly different employee, the knowledge worker; and second, the underlying trends in today's society that are already influencing, and will greatly change tomorrow's. These major trends include: The Global Baby Bust; The New U.S. Demographics; The New York Force; The More competitive Knowledge Society; and the Future of Top Management, among others.

This audio was clean, and clear. It's all in the title. The author describes what he thinks tomorrow will look like and then explain how one would navigate a successful life. Of course this is all based on if you believe he is correct in his assumption of where society is headed.

Managing in the new society is a forward thinking book explaining the current business environment and where it is going. A good explanation of the change from our current work force to a new better trained worker and what it takes to keep them.
