Peter Drucker’s body of work on business philosophy and strategy has yet to be surpassed, in my view.

This neuro–imaging hardware enables us to examine and analyze what really drives our behavior, our opinions, our preference for Corona over Budweiser, iPods over Zunes, or McDonald’s over Wendy’s.
