B、Edward deBono　　DeBono is unusual among major gurus for two reasons: firstly, he was born not in one of the great industrial nations but on the tiny island of Malt

A、Secondly, his ideas have reached a wider audience than just managers, so that his books have become essential rending in many different disciplines.　　Most of deBono s work has been concerned with the way human beings can train themselves to think more creatively. This apparently simple idea has resulted in 37 books and a highly successful career as a lecturer and consultant.C、PeterDrucker　　Probably no other single thinker has done as much asDrucker to establish management as a serious area of study.Certainly, his fellow management thinkers consider him one of the founding fathers of the discipline, and his books and articles are quoted more than those of any other management writer.　　His first book was published as far back as 1939, yet he is still writing and teaching. His greatest distinction has been his ability to predict coming trends in business and economics.As a result, his ideas are treated with the greatest respect and interest.D、Frederick Herzberg　　Although relatively few contemporary management students will have read his books, Herzberg s name is instantly recognisable to anyone who has studied industrial organisations. This is because theAmerican psychologist was responsible for introducing the concept of motivation into management thinking.　　As a young man, Herzberg became deeply interested in mental illness and the human need for mental and emotional satisfaction. This led him to criticise the approach of many companies to job design, and to argue for the need for job enrichment to stimulate employees efforts.E、Tom Peters　　TheAmerican s reputation was created in the I 980s by the spectacular success of one book, In Search ofExcellence, co-written with Robert Waterman. The two were working together as management consultants and no-one expected their first (and only) book to end up selling 5 million copies worldwide!　　Although his ideas have been criticised, Peters popularity as a speaker and writer has continued to grow. So much so that Peters has created his own business to market books, videos and consultancy based on his work. Contact with the military was an early influence on his thinking.
