Drucker
Sylvia Kong
(Class of 2009) I was really drawn to the Drucker Schools emphasis on ethical management and its philosophy that management is a human enterprise. I think the Drucker School differentiates itself from other business schools because it places equal emphasis on soft skills and hard skills and through Druckers teachings, it prepares students to lead organizations of knowledge workers.
To develop yourself, you have to be doing the right work in the right kind of organization.
Peter F. Drucker
In a world filled with corruption at the highest levels, we need inspired management more than ever before. What we have is a responsibility gap between society and those who run our institutionswhether they are businesses, governments, or nonprofits. To close that yawning abyss of incompetence coupled with greed, we must begin by ensuring the basic integrity of our institutions. We need to fill the responsibility gap. This gap starts with effective management and ethical leadershipthese are missing ingredients necessary to become a responsible society. Management involves being both morally concerned and performance-driven. Both analytical and reflective. Both competent and creative. Thats what we call the Drucker Difference.
Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship, the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.
Peter F. Drucker

Masaaki Sekiya (Alumnus, 2008) I identified with the Drucker School philosophy of
doing well and doing good. I wanted to learn not only practical management skills, but also develop as an ethical leader as I manage my business in Japan.
We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
Peter F. Drucker

Andrew Dick
(Class of 2008) There are many things I have learned at the Drucker School that I apply to my work as an Operations Group Leader at Target. The most useful class so far has been Self-Management, where I have discovered what motivates me to be most productive at my job and how to effectively lead my team.
Areas of concentration
Finance
The study of finance involves determining what to invest in, how much to invest, where to obtain funds, and how capital markets work. You will be prepared for career opportunities managing the finances of industrial, commercial and marketing enterprises; insurance companies; government, hospitals and other not-for-profit service institutions. If your interest lies in the area of investment, youll find career opportunities with investment banks, security dealers, brokerage firms, pension funds, insurance companies, and investment funds. Specialized finance careers are also available with financial intermediaries such as commercial banks, savings and loans, and investment banks.
Global Management
This concentration can help prepare you for the challenges of managing in a global economy. You will learn to examine organizations, markets, and institutions from a multi-national perspective so that youll understand how culture, economics, geography, and politics impact a managers role in markets that cross national boundaries. A global management concentration is an excellent choice if you are interested in a career with a large, multi-national corporation, or if the industry in which you would like to work is one that faces strong international competition.
Leadership
This concentration can help you enhance your leadership potential as you examine the vital role that leaders play in defining and implementing an organizations purpose, vision, and strategy, as well as ways in which leaders can inspire commitment from others. This concentration will help prepare you for a general management position in a wide variety of industries and types of organizations. If your career is moving from technical work toward more management responsibilities, you will find this concentration to be of particular value.
12
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.
Peter F. Drucker
Marketing
If you are interested in identifying and satisfying consumer needs, or communicating product benefits to a target group of customers, the marketing concentration will serve you very well. Both businesses and non-commercial institutions attempt to anticipate, manage, and satisfy demands for goods and services. In this concentration, you will learn ways to successfully conceive, promote, price, and distribute such products and services. Students with a marketing concentration frequently go on to careers as brand or product managers, market researchers, account executives, market analysts, media planners, technical sales reps, and consultants.
Strategy
The strategy concentration is designed to equip you with the core concepts, frameworks, and techniques of strategic management. Strategic management is about managing the enterprise to achieve superior performance. Thus, you will learn how to identify the sources of profit available to the business enterprise, and to formulate and implement strategies that exploit these sources of profit. Courses in the concentration will be analytical and will focus on senior management decisions that enhance profit maximization while taking into account the competitive response to those decisions. Students with a strategy concentration frequently go on to careers as consultants, entrepreneurs, and strategy analysts.

Joint-degree programs
The Drucker School offers joint-degree programs that are very focused in their direction and coursework.
Dual-degree options
A dual degree is a great way to customize your MBA. The Drucker School offers dual-degree programs with the other prestigious graduate schools at Claremont Graduate University. You can earn an MBA and a second degree of your choice if admitted to that program. Currently, we offer such degrees in concert with the School of Organizational and Behavioral Sciences, the School of Mathematical Sciences, the School of Politics and Economics, the School of Arts and Humanities, and the School of Information Systems and Technology. There is a significant benefit of time savings in pursuing an MBA as a dual degree. The traditional MBA program requires 60 units of course work. However, when pursued as part of a dual degree, the requirement is reduced to 48 units, since Drucker will accept 12 units from the partner school as electives.

The Oxford trip was one of the true highlights of my time at Drucker. Through the course, I was able to think much more globally about todays business issues, gain tremendous insight from the students in other CGU programs who attended, and mix classroom time with unbelievable cultural and business-related activities in England.

Serena Zelezny
(Class of 2008) I have enjoyed my courses at Drucker. The Marketing Strategy course is among my favorites because we worked with real clients and provided them with real options for their marketing plans. This experience has been vital as I prepare for a career as a marketing consultant. I also enjoyed the Drucker Difference class because it allowed me to meet all of the professors before taking their primary courses.

Assistant Professor of Financial Management
In this age of globalization, where each of us is a world citizen, Drucker has succeeded in unifying people under a common set of beliefs and ideas. His legacy and the transcontinental nature of his ideas continue to provide us with a guiding light in our future endeavors.
art is about motivating people. It is central to all of our teaching, as is the notion that we are a school of management and not a school of business.

Be open-minded and get as much out of every opportunity while you are at Drucker. We are part of vibrant college community that is characterized by intellectual inquiry. Make an effort to connect with both the School and the Claremont Colleges community.
At this time of turbulence in global markets and confusion about the role of business and government, Drucker offers calming guidance and wisdom about how we can find our way and navigate to a better future. Here you will gain insights about values, principles, ethics, and purpose. At Drucker, these arent peripheral or add-ons; they are the heart and soul of who we are, what we do, and what we call the Drucker Difference.

Horton Professor of Management
I advise students to take what comes out of each class and reflect on its usefulness in the experiences that they are having in life. The way to convert knowledge is to apply it. Come prepared to contribute to the learning environment of the Drucker School.
The Drucker School, like the Claremont Colleges, is prestigious, top-notch, and has great resources. We have highlyaccomplished professors who love to be in the classroom and are passionate about what they teach. We provide a unique and experiential opportunity for studentsquality education and exceptional classroom experience.
Vijay Sathe
Professor of Management
Craig L. Pearce
Associate Professor of Management
I value the Drucker Schools emphasis on the human side of enterprise. My courses build on the Drucker philosophy by taking a holistic approach to understanding human dynamics in organizations. I place considerable emphasis on developing a deep understanding of cultural values.
Too many business schools define success in terms of money, position, and status. Drucker reminds us, the hallmark of a successful leader is not achievement, but a contribution. What will be your contribution to those who depend on you? To your organization? To society at large? These are the questions we like to ask of ourselves and of our students.
James Wallace
Associate Professor of Accounting
Roberto Pedace
Clinical Associate Professor
I would encourage prospective students to visit the Drucker School and to visit a class so they can experience the high quality teaching first hand. Many schools claim they offer student-centered education, but most graduate programs operate with a completely different model.
Drucker has taught me that anybody asking the question is it better to do good or do well? doesnt get it. You dont choose one or the other. Doing good and doing well feed each other in a virtuous cycle where everyone wins. Rather than teach a one-dimensional perspective of winners and losers, I focus on how to make the pie bigger for everyone.
Katharina Pick
Visiting Assistant Professor
Hideki Yamawaki
Professor of Management and Associate Dean
You can walk away from this program with so much more than the necessary strategies and tactics for getting ahead. The school provides the space to develop a much deeper understanding of universal concepts of human behavior that make for truly exceptional management.
The Drucker School is different from other traditional business schools because of our diverse student body. Our school has a global presence that attracts many business leaders from different countries.

Junnosuke Nakamura
(Alumnus, 2008) I have enjoyed my experience at the Drucker School. There are many activities for students to be involved with. For example, I joined the Claremont Colleges Rugby Football Club and enjoy the diversity of the club. I have cultivated strong relationships with students from many countries such as South Africa and Indonesia.
Life in Claremont
The Drucker School is ideally located in the charming city of Claremont, a community of over 35,000 residents and home of the prestigious Claremont Colleges Consortium. Money magazines 2007 survey of the best 100 small cities in America listed Claremont, California, among the top five best cities to live. The article describes Claremont: The downtown is a mix of hip boutiques and old-school businesses. And the historic College Heights Lemon Packing House is now home to the Claremont Art Museum, restaurants, a jazz bar, and artists lofts. We enjoy sunshine more than 300 days a year in Claremont, with winter temperatures in the low-60s. Fall brings the dazzling colors of changing leaves, while winter provides breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains. Still, the sun keeps shining. Located just 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, it is an oasis among the hustle and bustle of Southern California, while being just a short drive from a tremendous range of social, cultural, and sports activities. Claremonts proximity to downtown Los Angeles affords students the opportunity to explore one of the most culturally diverse and connected cities in the United States.

Craig Borengasser & Zach Weismann (Class of 2008) We chose the Drucker
School for its reputation of building leaders. As students in the 4 + 1 program and also playing on the basketball varsity team at Claremont McKenna College, we get the opportunity to receive an MBA in half the time. You do not find many opportunities like that elsewhere, and after learning about the school, the faculty, and all the opportunities it presents, we both felt we had to take advantage of it.
Student leadership
Our students are bright, inquisitive, ambitious, and serious about their educational and professional goals. Their range of unique life and work experiences are reflected in the variety of activities and student groups on campus. From student government, to sports, to networking groups, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Net Impact
The Net Impact chapter at the Drucker School is a network of business leaders aimed to drive social and environmental change through the power of business. Net Impact ranked the Drucker School above other business schools in how well the school prepares students for ethical and socially responsible leadership, faculty support of Net Impact themes in the curriculum, and values-based job placement.

Tyler Barrell
(Class of 2009) I have been involved with the Drucker chapter of Net Impact, which is a 501(c) 3 that aims to use the power of markets to drive positive social and environmental change. Aside from personal reasons, I got involved because the issues related to Net Impact are ones in which every future leader should be well versed regardless of sector or industry of expertise. The organization offers a network of thousands of likeminded individuals in Claremont, greater L.A., and beyond.
