Peter F. Drucker, who was often called the world's most influential business scholar and whose thinking transformed corporate management in the latter half of the 20th century, died Nov 11 at his home in Claremont, California. Drucker was born in Vienna on Nov 19, 1909. He started his career in Economics by working for several German banks and export companies, and, at the same time, as economic journalist for Austrian and German newspapers and international banks in London. Drucker pioneered the idea of privatization and the corporation as a social institution. He coined the terms "knowledge workers" and "management by objectives". Although he was not always right with his visions, in the world of management gurus, there is no debate. An interview taken with Drucker in 1997 when he was...

During the last fifteen years NPM reforms affected Germany's federal and state polices facilitated by socio-economic forces and upcoming international new public management ideas in particular. Systematising the NPM-process we distinct a pioneer phase (1995-1999), a modification phase (1999-2002), and an integration phase (2002-2005). NPM reforms did not constitute a holistic model for police administration and could there-fore not completely replace the traditional bureaucratic model. In contrast there have been considerable adoptions of "NPM-tool-kit" in a pragmatic way. NPM-concepts become only partially institutionalized leading to a hybrid type of traditional administrative organisational structure and culture with sedimentations of certain NPM elements.

IWilliam H Whyte's concept of organization man is now used in bowdlerized form, shorn of its polemical core. It was an appeal against the situation of people in the big organizations taking shape after World War Two, belonging to the organization rather than simply working for it, earning rewards that are also, in the end, traps. In the current worlds of agile organizations with serially loyal staff these people no longer exist, and in fact the only group that fits the Whyte pattern are dedicated priests. At the same time, the polemic is never more relevant than today because people live in a world in which they are closely surveilled on many levels using ever more sophisticated technology, and in which many human resource management practices increase the power of organization over ind...

As part of the GLOBE project, this paper explores the societal and the organizational culture of the Romanian finance industry as reflected by middle managers' opinion. The two culture levels are compared across nine cultural dimensions. The differences between the cultural manifestations (practices and values) are analyzed through comparing the middle managers' answers to "what is" and "what should be" type questions at organizational and societal levels. The findings show some significant differences for the majority of the cultural dimensions examined both between culture levels (organizational versus societal) and culture manifestations (practices versus values).
