Part II: The Dimensions of Management - Summary
Business enterprises as well as public-service institutions do
not exist for their own sake, but to fulfil a specific social purpose
and to satisfy a specific need of society, community, or individual.
According to Peter Drucker, the right question to ask in respect to
them is not, what are they? But what are they supposed to be
doing and what are their tasks? According also to him there are
three tasks, equally important but essentially different, which
management has to perform to enable the institution in its charge
to function and to make its contribution: establishing the specific
purpose

and

mission

of

the

institution,

whether

business

enterprise, hospital, or university; making work productive and

the worker achieving; and managing social impacts and social
responsibilities.
With

respect

to

this

first

task,

the

task

of

specific

performance, business and non-business institutions differ. Only

business has economic performance as its specific mission. It is

the definition of a business that it exists for the sake of economic
performance. It can justify its existence and its authority only by
the economic results it produces. A business management has
failed if it fails to produce economic results. It has failed if it does
not improve, or at least maintain, the wealth-producing capacity
of the economic resources entrusted to it.
The second task of management is to make work productive
and the worker achieving. A business enterprise succeeds by
making human resources productive. It accomplishes its goals
through

work.

These

institutions

in

today's

society

are

increasingly the means through which individual human beings

find their livelihood, find their access to social status, to
community and to individual achievement and satisfaction.
Making the worker achieving implies consideration of the human
being

as

an

organism

having

peculiar

physiological

and

psychological properties, abilities, and limitations, and a distinct

mode of action.
The third task of management is managing the social
impacts and the social responsibilities of the enterprise. Social
impacts deal with what an institution does to society while social
responsibilities deal with what an institution can do for society.
Free enterprise cannot be justified as being good for business. It
can be justified only as being good for society. Psychologically,
geographically, culturally, and socially, institutions must be part

of the community. To discharge its job, to produce economic

goods and services, the business enterprise has to have impacts
on people, on communities, and on society. It has to have power
and authority over people. It has to have impact on the
community as a neighbor, as the source of jobs and tax revenue,
but also of waste products and pollutants. And, increasingly, it has
to add to its fundamental concern for the quantities of life, for the
physical, human, and social environment of modern man and
modern community.
