The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done, HarperCollins Publishers, January 3, 2006.
齊若蘭譯,杜拉克談高效能的5個習慣,遠流,2009
The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.

世界經濟論壇 2025 年未來就業報告
World Economic Forum, The Future of Jobs Report 2025, 7 January 2025.

張忠謀自傳 (下冊)
張忠謀,《張忠謀自傳》下冊 (1964-2018),天下,2024
「下冊」的第一篇「德儀篇」占全書三分之一篇幅,敘述我自 27 歲至 52 歲黃金年齡的崛起及衰退。德儀時期也是我最為熱情澎湃的年代。德儀讓我「獨上高樓,望盡天涯路」;為此,我無比地感激。但是,它對我的培植也激發了我要登上德儀顛峰的雄心。但是,這雄心是無法實現的;不說別的,只看 1970 年代美國德克薩斯州的客觀環境,就可斷定我的雄心很難很難實現。但是我的痴心,居然使我「明知不可為」的情況下,還在德儀多滯留了 5、6 年,後來連婚姻都賠上了。現在回想,那 5、6 年是多麼絕望的 5、6 年!

美國商學院強大的原因
張忠謀在清華大學的演講提到了「台灣理工科與美國相差不大,但商學院卻比美國差很多」。就某方面來說,台灣的商學院其實不算太差,但是跟台灣的理工學院在國際間的等級相比,商學院真的很差。或許我們應該要先問的是,商學院是什麼?...
