In this film, Jean-Daniel Reynaud looks back on his itinerary as an empirical sociologist, reflects on his interest for conflict and collective bargaining (the theory and practice of which he has contributed to renovate in France), and shows how his thinking on these subjects is founded in a more general sociological approach to the social production of rules and regulation.
Bonus: Alain Touraine, about the Field-study at Mont-Saint-Martin (France) and Peter Blau, about "Social Exchange"

Peter Drucker is known as the "guru" of management, a discipline he has more than anybody else contributed to establish. In fact, he is much more than that. With his intellectual roots in the culture of Europe of the beginning XXth century, he has made himself into the often critical, but always insightful observer of the industrial society of the second half of the XXth century, analyzing its ongoing radical transformations and predicting better and earlier than others its emergent trends. With his comments on his historical study of General Motors, on the role of the consultant, the problems of decision-making, the issues of leadership and the transformations of the large modern organizations, Peter Drucker demonstrates the profoundness and the originality of his thinking.
