During Peter Drucker’s lecture regarding non-profit management he begins by discussing the final paper of the course in which the students examine either their own non-profit organization or a case from their textbook. He advises them that the cases in their textbook prepare them for action, where the cases in most textbooks, such as the Harvard cases offers them only exercises in thinking. He then goes on to stress the importance of learning to act and act quickly in stressful situations. He also explains the importance of giving the answer to the right question, using the multiplication table to illustrate his point. Drucker also reviews the cases his students’ wish to review, such as managing costs at a hospital and the case of "the insane junior high school principal." Also in this lecture he talks about managing accounting at hospitals and universities and why it is difficult. From there he goes on to compare health care in the United States to health care abroad in countries such as Canada, Germany, France, and Britain.
