This year’s Drucker Day is a special celebratory occasion at Claremont Graduate University and the Drucker School of Management.

The namesake school will remember Peter Drucker the man, celebrate one of his colleagues, and welcome many executives and distinguished faculty who walk the Drucker Path every day.

This year’s program invites attendees to walk “the Drucker Path” - looking back on the achievements of Peter Drucker, the “father of modern management” who taught at CGU until his death in 2005, as well as considering new applications of his timeless principles.

This year’s Drucker Day 2017 keynoter Renée Mauborgne and her co-author created a business strategy model based on the idea of “survival of the fittest” in the ocean.

An ocean of hungry predators turns the water red because of ferocious competition; a blue ocean, though, is an uncontested space in which a company swims easily and captures markets without the same cutthroat fighting.

Mauborgne’s vision of finding blue oceans and other highperformance strategies kicks off this year’s Drucker Day 2017:

“The Drucker Path—Past, Present, and Future” on Nov. 4 at Claremont Graduate University.

In addition to remarks by Mauborgne, Drucker Day will also feature keynote remarks from Deborah Clark, who oversees the suite of public radio broadcasts produced by Marketplace, which reaches more than 14 million listeners on a weekly basis.

Scholar, author, and Drucker emeritus professor Joseph Maciariello will also be celebrated during Drucker Day. Maciariello and Drucker collaborated on several landmark books and Maciariello went on to steward Drucker’s legacy by revising two seminal works, Management and Management Cases.

Anyone interested in the latest cutting-edge management concepts and strategies is welcome to attend; visit www.cgu.edu/druckerday to register.
