Summary: One good book?
Comment: "TELL ME HOW YOU MEASURE ME, AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW I WILL BEHAVE."

OK, we expect you to publish on your theory frequently.

Um, but I have nothing new to say. The theory was only big enough for one book.

We won't consider you an expert if you have only one good book - the first one.

OK. I'll rehash everything about every two years.

Summary: The ultimate planning thinking
Comment: This book gives you the best guidelines to the planning and scheduling world. It is easy readable, but be careful. The theory looks easy, but it isn't. Read again and again, and the value of the book increases.

Specially the last section is dynamite.

Summary: Data versus Information
Comment: Goldratt plunges directly to the heart of the matter. Decision makers need information that will help them understand the likely results following from their choices. Most managerial accounting systems offer (at best) a glance at where an organization has been. Beginning with understanding the questions decision makers must answer to make effective decisions, Goldratt moves to how one might go about building an INFORMATION (NOT data) system which can offer up the answers to those questions.

Unfortunately, the valuable result will be heavy going for many readers. Particularly, the more narrowly one has specialized, the less likely it is that one will have the breadth of understanding needed to grasp the whole without help from one's associates. Team reading with an IT person, an accounting person, a manufacturing person, and an executive in the team should add value for all readers and their organization.
