This is side A of the first tape from the annual Drucker Symposium of 1979. Dale Zand is the moderator, and William Guth is a guest speaker. In this segment, Drucker discusses strategies for success in different industries, including air travel, pharmaceuticals, and banking. He discusses the importance of learning how to run a business in turbulence and uncertainty because that is the “normal” state of human affairs. He also emphasizes the importance of abandoning a project that does not work since “you can’t milk a cow very long without feeding it”, you just end up wasting resources for tomorrow on maintaining yesterday.
