Peter Drucker Challenge for Writing and a 1000 Euro Award

  The Global Peter Drucker Forum 2018 is pleased to announce the opening for application to the Peter Drucker Challenge which aims to keep the human-oriented management philosophy of the writer Peter Drucker alive in the minds of the young generation.

This year's challenge topic is:  "How to stay human in a robot society?"

So how do you think Peter Drucker would react if he met his android twin today? We don’t know and all we can do is to use our imagination – one of the attributes, along with creativity, reason, feelings and empathy, that are still unique to humans.

This challenge is open to students and young professionals from all around the world to write a personal narrative essay that may be underpinned by research. And it will take place in Vienna, the place where Peter Drucker was born and educated. During the Drucker Forums, the contest finalists will be meeting leading management thinkers and practitioners from all over the world to learn from one another.

The prizes of this challenge are as follow:
