It is in the spirit of this Druckerian duality of teaching and learning from the young generation that the Peter Drucker Society of Europe is launching the first "Global Peter Drucker Challenge", an international essay contest for students, young managers and young entrepreneurs on the topic of "Continuity and Change - Balancing Innovation and Time-Tested Practices".
The essay may focus on specific institutional fields such as public sector, education, corporations, small business etc. or may take a transversal perspective. Concrete recommendations for directions to take and concrete measures should be part of the conclusion.
Although the essay contest is not be understood as a test on Peter Drucker, a familiarity with Drucker's works and ideas is certainly welcome and even more so the ability to apply or re-interpret Drucker's way of thinking in the light of contemporary developments.
