Pinchot's thesis is stirring discussion within management circles. Peter Drucker, 75, author of more than a dozen books, says that intrapreneurship is really just a new name for an old idea. Says he: "These young people have no memory. It is like every 19-year-old thinking he has just discovered sex." Thomas J.

By the year 2005, Drucker figures, only 5% to 10% of the work force will be involved in manufacturing, compared with 20% today. That conclusion, striking as it is, is not very controversial.
