Goldratt_TheChoice.JPG THE CHOICE
$22.50
Eliyahu M. Goldratt

NEW TITLE

TOC has been successfully applied in almost every area of human endeavor, from industry to healthcare to education. And while Eli Goldratt is indeed a scientist, an educator and a business leader, he is first and foremost a philosopher; some say a genius.
He is a thinker who provokes others to do the same. Often characterized as unconventional, and always stimulating—a slayer of sacred cows— Dr. Goldratt exhorts his readers to examine and reassess their lives and business practices by cultivating a different perspective and a clear new vision.
In his latest book, The Choice, Goldratt once again presents his thought provoking approach, this time through a conversation with his daughter Efrat, as he explains to her his fundamental system of beliefs.

NEW TITLE

Is Customer Support More Than A Necessary Evil?

For decades the Theory of Constraints has revolutionized the business world. From Production on the shop floor to Engineering, Project Management and Marketing & Sales, the implementation of TOC has resulted in systemwide improvements that have increased profitability without significant investment.

In this book, the sequel to The Cash Machine, we learn how Customer Support, considered both the "long arm of R&D" and the "extended support arm of Sales," can benefit from the application of TOC by becoming a profitable entity that sells services based on the value that's provided to customers and systematically puts resources and infrastructure in place in order to deliver quality support while making more money now and in the future.
