(Peter Drucker Society Europe: Wien, Austria) -- The deadline for the Peter Drucker Challenge essay contest has officially been extended to Aug. 15, 2011. Initiated and organized by the Peter Drucker Society Europe (PDSE), the essay contest has the overarching theme “Management: What Is It Good For?”

The challenge is aimed at young managers, entrepreneurs, and students up to the age of 35. The length of the essays should be between 1,500 words and 3,000 words. For more information about participating, visit www.druckerchallenge.org.
