Drucker: On Learning (To Learn) Management

This paper argues that there is an intrinsic link between the concepts of "Learning-to-learn" and the "Knowledge worker" in the work of Peter Drucker. This is because the increasing life-span of knowledge workers and the decreasing life-span of organizations in the contemporary world have changed the underlying nature of the "Social contract" that has hitherto governed the relationship between workers and organizations. Furthermore, these changes are forcing all stakeholders to confront the demands of learning-to-learn and self-management as the necessary modalities of professional and social mobility for knowledge workers in the global economy.
