The Goal By Eliyahu M. Goldratt

Lulu wanted to learn more about business so read 'The Goal' By Eliyahu M. Goldratt. She had highlighted the key parts of the book as asked me to type up everything she had highlighted. 

 'The Goal' is written in the style of a novel. It is about a plant manager, Alex Rogo, whose factory has 90 days before it will be closed by corporate HQ, with hundreds of job losses. To prevent this, Alex must rapidly improve performance. A chance meeting with a past colleague, Jonah, helps him to see things differently and helps him to see what needs to be done. The book contains important messages for managers in industry as well as explains the 'Theory of Constraints', which has been developed by Eliyahu Goldratt.

 'The Goal' seemed to be an easy read and was very interesting. I didn't understand all of it as I only read the parts that Lulu highlighted, but it is a book which I will read as it will be useful in applying it to my own business in the future.
