In May 2010 the Peter Drucker Society of Europe with the support of EFMD launched the first “Global Peter Drucker Challenge” , an international essay contest for students, young managers and young entrepreneurs. The contest had the overarching theme “Continuity and Change – Balancing Innovation and Time-Tested Practices” designed to show the application or re-interpretation of Drucker’s way of thinking in the light of contemporary developments.
The response was overwhelming in number, the variety and breadth of topics, and by the quality of the submitted essays. A total of 214 essays were received from all over the world.
