Commentary
The late Peter Drucker is considered the father of modern management theory. Born in Vienna, he was a young lecturer at Frankfurt University early in Hitler’s regime. In his book “Adventures of a Bystander” (retold in “Life in the Third Reich”), Drucker recounts the initial Nazi-controlled faculty meeting at Frankfurt University, which occurred shortly after Hitler’s rise to power in 1933.
