About the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management

Named after Professor Peter Drucker in 1974, the Drucker School was established as part of Claremont Graduate University to satisfy the niche of part time executive management education. Today, the school shares its name with one of the world’s most respected entrepreneurs, Masatoshi Ito, combining a thinker (Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management) with a doer (Masatoshi Ito, who built the largest retail network in Japan), and reflecting a decidedly global orientation. Drucker has some 4,400 alumni around the globe, many of whom are leaders in business, government, and the nonprofit sector. The school is known for its innovative programs, which in addition to the Masters in Arts Management (AM), includes the traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA), the Executive Management Program (EMBA), a Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE), a Master in Politics, and Business and Economics (MAPEB), as well as a variety of certificate programs and customized corporate executive education offerings. The Drucker School’s programs and degrees are unique in their focus on management as a liberal art, rather than specific concentrations on core business functions such as accounting, finance, or marketing.

The International Leadership Association is the global network for all those who practice, study and teach leadership. The induction ceremony will take place during ILA's twelfth annual global conference “Leadership 2.0: Time for Action” which will be held October 27-30, 2010 in Boston, MA. In addition to Dr. Lipman-Blumen, the other 2010 nominees for the award include Russ Mawby, Fred Fiedler, Ed Hollander, and John W. Gardner.
