“Management is a truly liberal art.”
- Peter F. Drucker
"Father of Modern Management” - Peter F. Drucker
(1909.11.19 – 2005.11.11)
Peter F. Drucker, an Austrian-born writer, educator and consultant, is hailed as the “Father of Modern Management”. “Management” is now regarded as a discipline, a practice and a profession, and this is largely due to the thinking and efforts of Drucker. For nearly half a century, he inspired and educated executives and leaders from both business and non-profit sectors worldwide. He was deeply concerned about individuals finding meaningful existence in a functioning society. He believed that responsible management should aim at enabling individuals fulfilling, organizations performing and the society functioning. With a broad vision and sharp insights, he espoused “Management” as a truly Liberal Art. His teachings remain fresh as ever and will motivate and guide managers for generations to come.
MLA Academy
MLA Academy, formerly known as Peter F. Drucker Academy, a member of MLA Foundation, is a registered charitable Non-Profit Management Institute in Hong Kong.
The term “MLA” stands for “Management as a Liberal Art” which is coined by Peter F. Drucker. Drucker emphasises that “management is a human activity” and “management is a social function and liberal art”, and that management should be concerned deeply with human well-being and the betterment of society.
Inherited from Drucker’s teaching, and mingled with eastern and western culture, the Academy will continue making contribution towards a functioning society in which people find meaning and purpose through practicing Drucker’s MLA.

Student Testimonials
" The Ducker management theories lead us to reflect on our roles as managers and the circumstances surrounding us. This is an innovative way of thinking. And the equivalence of 'innovation' and 'give-up' is also an
interesting idea!"
- Student. Teddy Poon
