Abstract: | "Confucianism... is a universal ethic in which the rules and imperatives of behavior hold for all individuals." (Peter F. Drucker, Forbes, 1981). This paper will argue that Confucian ethics underlie much of Drucker's writing. Both Drucker and Confucius view power as the central ethical issue in human relations. They emphasize authority, leadership, legitimacy, hierarchy, interdependence and individual ethical responsibility in their analysis of human affairs. |
