The effective business, Peter Drucker observes, focuses on opportunities rather than problems. How this focus is achieved in order to make the organization prosper and grow is the subject of this companion to his classic, The Practice of Management. The earlier book was chiefly concerned with how management functions; this volume shows what the executive decision-maker must do to move his enterprise forward. One of the notable accomplishments of this book is its combining specific economic analysis with a grasp of the entrepreneurial force in business prosperity. For though it discusses "what to do" more than Drucker's previous works, the book stresses the qualitative aspect of enterprise: every successful business requires a goal and spirit all its own. Peter Drucker again employs his particular genius for breaking through conventional outlooks and opening up new perspectives--for profits and growth.

彼得·德鲁克（peterdrucker）观察到，有效的企业关注的是机遇而不是问题。如何实现这一重点，以使组织繁荣和发展，是这个主题的同伴，他的经典，管理实践。早期的书主要是关于如何管理职能；本书展示了执行决策者必须做些什么来推动他的企业向前发展。这本书的一个显著的成就就是它结合了具体的经济分析和对商业繁荣中企业家力量的把握。因为尽管这本书比德鲁克以前的著作更多地讨论了“做什么”，但它强调了企业的质量方面：每一个成功的企业都需要一个自己的目标和精神。彼得·德鲁克再次运用他独特的天才，突破传统观点，开拓新的视角——实现利润和增长。
