Goal
Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager who has been given 90 days to save his failing factory. If he doesn't improve the plant's performance, corporate headquarters will close it down and hundreds of workers will lose their jobs. It takes a chance meeting with Jonah, a former professor, to help him break out of his conventional thinking and figure out what needs to be done.

Necessary But Not Sufficient
After reading the newspapers and following the oscillations of the stock market, it becomes apparent that hi-tech companies are of a different breed. Never before have the chances of making a fortune been so realistic and never before have large companies been so fragile. What is really going on inside these hi-tech companies? What types of pressures and challenges are they facing? And how do they cope? Computer software providers, especially the ones that specialize in handling the data needs of organizations, are prime examples of these volatile companies. In the nineties we witnessed their growth from small business into multi-billion dollar giants. No wonder investors were attracted. In 1998 it was easy for such companies to raise as much money as they wanted. But now, investment funds have dried up. Why? And more importantly, is there a way to reverse the trend? This book gives the answers.

Målet
Tre måneder! Det er, hvad fabrikschefen Alex Rogo får af tid til at rette op på sin mildest talt skrantende fabrik, der døjer med utilfredse kunder, kolossale forsinkelser, alt for store lagre, dundrende underskud, anstrengt likviditet - og en forstokket topledelse i hovedkvarteret. Så er scenen sat for denne roman om en turbulent forandringsproces i en større produktionsvirksomhed - en proces, hvor der bliver gjort op med indarbejdede traditioner og dogmer inden for managementteorierne. Hjælpen kommer fra en uventet kant og på en uvant måde. Følg Alex Rogos forunderlige rejse gennem den økonomiske krise, den personlige krise og - fordi én ulykke sjældent kommer alene - den ægteskabelige krise. Målet kan læses både som en roman om et menneskes fremadskridende proces, men kan også læses som et stykke managementlitteratur: Én lang case story om forandringer. Målet er oversat til 20 sprog og solgt i mere end 3 mio. eksemplarer. Eliyahu Goldratt er amerikansk managementkonsulent og
