What makes a great corporation truly great? In The Concept of the Corporation, management visionary Peter F. Drucker conducts a landmark study of General Motors — then the world's largest and most successful company — to answer that very question. Published originally in 1946, this groundbreaking work dissects the organizational structure, management philosophies, and operational policies that transformed General Motors into a model for industrial enterprise, arguing that the corporation itself is a social and political institution, not merely an economic one. Drucker's incisive analysis presents the large corporation as the defining institution of modern society, examining how it balances the often competing interests of employees, management, shareholders, and the public at large. His prose is authoritative yet accessible, illuminating complex organizational dynamics with remarkable clarity and foresight. Decades ahead of its time, The Concept of the Corporation laid the intellectual foundation for virtually every major school of management thought that followed — and its central questions about purpose, power, and people within institutions remain urgently relevant today.
