Surpassed 148 other candidates, Bui Gia Khuyen, a Vietnamese student at the Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, the US, won the Global Peter Drucker Challenge 2015, the website of the Tufts University said.

The theme of this year's contest was “Managing oneself in the Digital Age”. Candidates were invited to write an essay between 1,500 and 3,000 words to express their opinions on this topic.

The Peter Drucker Society Europe organized the contest to raise the awareness of students and young entrepreneurs about the works of Drucker (1909-2005), an Austrian and the world’s leading expert on management consulting.

“I’m very happy for winning the award. It will be the first trip to Europe in my life. I will have the opportunity to meet with world leaders, researchers and policymakers," said Khuyen.

He has enjoyed and read a lot of books by author Drucker and became interested in the contest from an event held at his university. At the event, he met Ms. Joan Snyder Kuhl, co-author of the book named “Peter Drucker's Five Most Important Questions”.

Ms. Kuhl is a member of the jury of the Global Peter Drucker Challenge 2015. She realized the excitement of Khuyen for Drucker's works and encouraged him to participate in the contest.

“Bui is a talented writer. He can become an influential person on the younger generation," said Ms. Kuhl./.
