Taylor & Francis Ltd Its Not Luck
Book SynopsisThere has been a shift of policy at board level. Cash is needed and Alex Rogo's companies are to be put on the block. Alex faces a cruel dilemma. If he successfully completes the turnaround of his companies they can be sold for the maximum return: if he fails they will be closed down. Either way Alex and his team will be out of work. It looks like lose-lose, both for Alex and for his team. And as if he doesn't have enough to deal with, his two children have become teenagers. As Alex grapples with problems at work and at home, we begin to understand the full scope of Eli Goldratt's powerful techniques. It's Not Luck reveals more of the Thinking Process-techniques that consistently produce win-win solutions to seemingly impossible problems.Trade Review'Realistic, fun ... Educational' Business Age 'Not only is Goldratt a fine novelist, his management thinking challenges the norm and provides the reader with much food for thought, as well as ideas for dealing with a host of everyday situations.' The Engineer '... a refreshing and easily digestible style ... for those who want to develop their own innovative solutions rather than apply the quick fix.' BICS Control 'The inspirational ideas in this book are rigorously tested using reason ... an apt reminder that winning in business is not a matter of luck, but of detailed planning allied to vision.' Financial Training Review 'Once I picked up this book I could hardly put it down again as the concepts of the Theory of Constraint - The Thinking Processes, run right through the book.' Executive Engineer

Taylor & Francis Ltd Necessary But Not Sufficient A Theory of
Book SynopsisAfter reading the newspapers and following the sharp 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 specialise in handling the data needs of organizations, are prime examples of these volatile companies. In the nineties we witnessed their growth from small businesses 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.
