Abstract

My first life lessons on the power, importance, and effects of pricing were emotional and left a permanent imprint. But they didn’t come in the university classrooms or corporate boardrooms where I spent much of my adult life as a professor or a consultant.

Personal letter from Doris Drucker, the wife of Peter Drucker, on November 2, 2005. She wrote: “I am sorry to tell you that Peter is very ill. Before his collapse he dictated a letter to you. The secretary just brought it here for his signature.” This note was followed by his testimonial for the book. He and I were scheduled to meet on November 12, 2005, at his house in Claremont, CA. The evening before the meeting, I called from Mexico City to confirm. Mrs. Drucker answered the phone and said, “Peter died this morning.” I was shocked.
