THE GOAL: A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eliyahu M.
Goldratt
"A survey of the reading habits of managers found that though they buy
books by the likes of Tom Peters for display purposes, the one management
book they have actually read from cover to cover is The Goal." The
Economist
"Goldratt's system, in essence, forces production managers and workers
alike to coordinate their work-with an underlying principle in mind: that
'bottlenecks'…are what ultimately constrain the manufacturing
environment." Business Week
"This theory provided a persuasive solution for factories struggling
with production delays and low revenues." Harvard Business Review
"Like Mrs. Fields and her cookies, The Goal was too tasty to remain
obscure. Companies began buying big batches and management schools
included it in their curriculums." Fortune Magazine
"Anybody who considers himself a manager should rush out, buy and
devour this book immediately. If you are the only one in your place to
have read it, your progress along the path to the top may suddenly
accelerate…one of the most outstanding business books I have ever
encountered." Punch Magazine
"Goal readers are now doing the best work of their lives." Success
Magazine

"Anyone who doesn't snap up a copy is missing a wonderful opportunity
for professional and personal development." —Assembly
"This book is valuable to two main audiences: project managers and
senior managers…useful for dealing with one of the most difficult and
pressing management challenges: developing highly innovated new products."
—Harvard Business Review
"Eli Goldratt's first novel,The Goal, shook up the factory
floor… Goldratt essentially adds a discipline for understanding what
drives project performance and therefore what the focus of a project
manager's attention should be."
—Harvard Business Review
"Critical Chain will revolutionize project management."
