I read this through within a couple of nights, so much easier than reading a textbook on the subject. Simple and relatable material. ( )I included this book in my book: The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. www.100bestbiz.com. This book is about "Theory of Constraints" (TOC) and the Process of Ongoing Improvement. It is written like a novel, but is very insightful into how to view business system issues from a more scientific point of view (POV). I agree with other reviewers that I could have done without the marital issues, but it ends up being a page turner. I was given this book by my boss to read and while I work in software development and release the theories were easily applied in our business model. Even the interviews at the end of the book were useful in how the theory has been applied in other situations and industries. A decent little book discussing the Theory of Constraints. I actually had to read this for an undergrad management accounting class and it wasn't that bad. I was expecting something much worse but it was a good little story and it made a lot of sense. What a weird book. A "Production and Operations Management Book" that's a real page-turner. I probably could have done without the marital problems, since the book seemed somewhat compelling without it. no reviews | add a review
