During Peter Drucker’s lecture regarding managing the non-profit organization he begins by explaining that it is not part of the professional executive’s job to take part in community activities, although many do. He then discusses how it was during the 1930s that college education started becoming a requirement of management. From there he goes on to discuss John Kenneth Galbraith and his book, "The Essential Galbraith" and the way he viewed business and government as antagonistic and without a social sector. Drucker then discusses charitable giving and Andrew Carnegie and why he developed the Carnegie Foundations. Later in the lecture he also explains that each social sector institution must define results and that definitions of results are by no means obvious. Then to illustrate his point he uses an example of when he was the Chairman of the Board of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Following this, Drucker discusses ways in which Non-Profit Organizations obtain their financial means, specifically discussing the importance of volunteers.
