Rick Wartzman, the former business editor of the Los Angeles Times, has agreed to start writing a bi-monthly column for BusinessWeek.com, according to an announcement.
The column will tie the teachings of Peter F. Drucker, who is widely considered the father of modern management, to events in the news. It will also, from time to time, highlight the work of scholars and practitioners in all sectors—business, government and the nonprofit world—who have been influenced by Drucker.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to fulfill our basic mission: to take Peter Drucker’s ideas and ideals to new audiences,” Wartzman said. “The fact that BusinessWeek has chosen to feature ‘The Drucker Difference’ underscores just how relevant his thinking remains today.”
Before being named director of the Drucker Institute last year, Wartzman had a 20-year career in journalism, including stints as a reporter, editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. He is also the co-author of the bestselling book “The King of California: J.G. Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire” and is now completing a new book, “Obscene in the Extreme: The Burning and Banning of The Grapes of Wrath.” He left the Times in 2006.
