Drucker in the Dugout: A Japanese Baseball Girl Meets Peter Drucker is a Japanese movie directed by Makoto Tanaka. It was released by Toho in Japan on June 4, 2011.
The original Japanese title translates to What if the Female Manager of a High School Baseball Team read Drucker’s “Management”?
Atsuko Maeda, a member of AKB48 at the time of filming, plays a second-year high school girl named Minami Kawashima who is appointed manager of her baseball team in place of her sick friend.
Unsure of how to handle her new responsiblity, she decides to find a baseball book to guide her. Instead, she picks up Peter Drucker’s business management-themed book “Management: tasks, responsibilities, practices” and implements its principles to get the lazy members of her team in line.
