Book Reviews of The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

Book Review: Thesis on Thinking
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is on the required reading list for one of my MBA classes at IU. I was surprised at how "old" the book was at first (copyright 1984) and was concerned that its concepts would be dated. It is true that some of the basic background seemed stodgy (set in an American factory anticipating its first exposure to the world of "robots"). However, the underlying theme throughout the book is to learn to question yourself and other set practices/standards and work yourself through apparent lose/lose propositions. I have enjoyed reading this book, as it is written as a business novel and not a textbook.
