The late John E. Flaherty’s 1999 book Peter Drucker: Shaping the Managerial Mind contains a nearly five page section, “Major Articles,” listing titles, dates, and publication names for some of the pieces under Drucker’s byline.
In this new post, I’ve incorporated information about Drucker-bylined articles from Flaherty’s book, and added to it from my research, including for the posts “Peter Drucker: Freelance Writer,” (2016), and “Peter Drucker and The Washington Post” (2013). I interviewed Flaherty and wrote about the book for USA TODAY, and wrote him about him in 2018 in my post “Remembering John E. Flaherty and Tony Bonaparte, Friends and Associates of Peter Drucker.”
The fact that Drucker wrote, at one time or another, for 79 different publications is astounding. And this list is probably incomplete, especially as it relates to publications outside the United States. I’ve listed a few, but there are bound to be others. It’s possible that he appeared infrequently, or only once, in many of the titles below. But in some he appeared quite regularly; he was a columnist for the Wall Street Journal for 20 years, and wrote prolifically for the Harvard Business Review, a phenomenon I wrote about last year in “Examining Harvard Business Review Press’ New ‘Drucker Library’.”
If you are aware of periodical titles with confirmed Drucker bylines that are not on this list, please let me know!
