Description
Written in a fast-paced thriller style, The Goal is the gripping novel which is transforming management thinking throughout the Western world. The author has been described by Fortune as 'a guru to industry' and by Businessweek as a 'genius'. It is a book to recommend to your friends in industry even to your bosses but not to your competitors.
Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager working ever more desperately to try to improve performance. His factory is rapidly heading for disaster. So is his marriage. He has ninety days to save his plant or it will be closed by corporate HQ, with hundreds of job losses. It takes a chance meeting with a colleague from student days - Jonah to help him break out of conventional ways of thinking to see what needs to be done.
The story of Alex's fight to save his plant is more than compulsive reading. It contains a serious message for all managers in industry and explains the ideas which underlie the Theory of Constraints (TOC) developed by Eli Goldratt.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt is an internationally recognised leader in the development of new business management concepts and systems, and acts as an educator to many of the world's corporations. His ideas are beginning to revolutionize the way companies work.
