Accenture’s Institute for
Strategic Change Top 50 ‘Business Intellectuals’
http://www.accenture.com/xd/xd.asp?it=enWeb&xd=dyn/dynamicpressrelease_487.xml
Qualitative ranking of the top 50 living business gurus (defined
as influential thinkers and writers on business management
topics whose ideas, writings, and teachings are forefront in the
public consciousness), most of whom are business school
academics, consultants, journalists or business executives. The
list was compiled as part of a broader study on the circulation
of new ideas in business.
The Conference Board
http://www.conference-board.org/
The Conference Board was born out of a crisis in industry in
1916. Declining public confidence in business and rising labor
unrest had become severe threats to economic growth and
stability. A group of concerned business leaders, representing a
variety of major industries, concluded that the time had arrived
for an entirely new type of organization - a respected,
not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization that would bring
leaders together to find solutions to common problems and
objectively examine major issues having an impact on business
and society. Today, The Conference Board works as a global,
independent membership organization in the public interest. It
creates and disseminates knowledge about management and the
marketplace to help businesses strengthen their performance and
better serve society; it conducts research, convenes
conferences, makes forecasts, assesses trends, publishes
information and analysis, and brings executives together to
learn from one another.
Drucker Archives
http://drucker.cgu.edu/DruckerArchives/data/index.htm
Born in Vienna on November 19, 1909, Peter Drucker is known
around the world as the "father of management," as he helped
create and articulate "the concepts that have made management a
field of legitimate academic inquiry and professional practice."
After receiving a Ph.D. in international law from Frankfurt
University, Drucker moved to London, and then shortly afterwards
came to the United States, where he began a long tenure at Sarah
Lawrence College. Drucker continued on with a prodigious career,
teaching at New York University, then eventually moving on to
Harvard. The Drucker Archives were established at the Claremont
Colleges in the 1980s, and this website contains a number of
online searching aids designed to assist researchers, and a
number of online features that draw on the enormous output of
Drucker's writings over the past six decades.
