5.0 out of 5 stars A Profound Book on Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Reviewed in the United States on 30 December 2021

Right off the bat, it is easy to be dismissive of this book because it was written in the 1980's. How can such an old book still be relevant in today's high tech world? It is important not to get caught up in this trap. The principles Peter Drucker's spells out in this book are deep and go to the very nature of modern American capitalism. The beauty of this well written book is that it establishes the intellectual boundaries of innovation and entrepreneurship. There are countless subsequent books that address the many details of innovation. Yet all of these books work within the boundaries Drucker established with this work This is a great book that is as relevant today as when it was written. Highly recommended!

Top takeaways from reading the book:
- Page 30: It was the textbook that made universal education possible. After the textbook was developed many more people had the possibility to learn.
- Page 33: Try to create value and make a contribution.
- Page 135: To innovate, observe, ask and listen to people. Find out what they need and what their values are.
- Page 135: Effective innovations are simple and obvious.
- Page 136: Innovate for the present - not for the future. Example: From the first day the computer was useful, for example for calculating numbers through Microsoft Excel.
- Pages 188 to 193: Focus on the market. What you think users need may differ from what users actually need. Find out the real needs of users, for example by trying out things / testing, observing and asking questions. A product or service is defined by the customer - not by the producer. The customer knows what a great customer experience is.
- Page 204: Get objective coaching / advice from outside - a person with whom you can discuss decisions and to whom you will listen.

I wish I had read it when it was published, 1984.
The subject of the book has, today, become pop culture.
Drucker is able to relate the philosophy of the subject.

This is the only book I came across which deals with entrepreneurship at theoretical as well as practical level. The book gives practical methods, strategies to keep in mind while innovating and going for new ventures.
It has very clear about everything. It has listed down step by step sources of Innovation, Principles of Innovation and Also about Entrepreneurship.

Great Book by Father Of Modern Management.
