The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement
EUR 10,99
noch nie so einen Schwachsinn gelesen ! völlig unbrauchbar - Goldratt lesen, heisst lachen lernen....Ich habe leider meine Zeit mit The Goal verschwendet. Wer solche Bücher Managementbücher nennt, sollte nochmal überlegen ob er/sie den richtigen Beruf ausübt.Methodologisch und auch schriftstellerisch wahrlich keine Meisterleistung.Die Hauptthemen wurden schon um / ab 1910 besser und passender erforscht.Sogar einfache Zusammenhänge werden für Grundschüler formuliert.Jedoch sind die einfachen Zusammenhänge, für die Goldratt immerhin 40 Seiten braucht (make money) theoretisch gar nicht so einfach. s. Methodenstreit von Schmalenbach / Rieger. Wer so ein Buch schreibt sollte zumindest etwas von der Theorie der BWL verstehen.Die Charaktere sind flach und stereotypisch. (Gibt es überhaupt so eine Frau ? , wie wird der Hauptcharakter eigentlich Chef von dieser Fabrik ???? )Viele Business Schools schwören wohl auf dieses Buch.... das ist der einzige Trost. Wer eine richtiges BWL Studium hat braucht zumindest diese Konkurrenz nicht fürchten. Die Idee Wissen in einen Roman zu verpacken ist gut, jedoch schlecht umgesetzt. Ein wirkliches Fachbuch zum Thema bräuchte 5 Seiten um jede Idee in The Goal ausführlich zu besprechen.Wer an gehaltvoller Literatur und Wissenschaft interessiert ist verschwendet mit Goldratt seine Zeit.
A Remarkably Effective Novel for Learning Management - This novel succeeds in being outstanding at so many levels that it could receive a multiple of five stars. It is hard to imagine a management book in novel form ever approaching this one in usefulness. Most people will learn more that they can apply from this book about management than many people learn to apply from an M.B.A.The basic story is built around the dilemmas facing Alex Rogo, a newly-appointed plant manager. The plant can t seem to ship, it s losing money, and bad things can happen to good people if all this doesn t change soon. Alex is at a loss for what to do until he pulls out a cigar that Jonah, a physicist from Israel, had recently given him. That cigar reminds him to contact Jonah for possible help. From there, the path to recovery begins.Let me describe some of the many levels on which this novel is valuable.First, the book explains how to see businesses as systems as well as any other book on this subject. It compares favorably in this area to such important works as The Fifth Discipline and the Fifth Discipline Handbook. The metaphor of how to speed up a slow-moving group of boy scouts will be visceral to anyone who has done any hiking with a group.Second, the book helps you learn how to improve the performance of a system by providing you with a replicable process that you can apply to analyzing any human or engineering system. The primary metaphor is improving a manufacturing process, but the same principles apply more broadly to other circumstances.Third, you will experience the power of the Socratic method as a way to stimulate your mind to learn, and to use Socratic questions to stimulate the minds of others to become better thinkers and doers.Fourth, the authors also use problem simulation as a practical way to help you experience the learning process they are advocating.Fifth, the book is unusually good in bringing home the consequences of letting your business process run in a vicious cycle: Your family life may also.The pacing of the book is especially good. You are given time to stew with issues and come up with your own ideas before sample answers are provided by Alex and his staff in the novel.Unlike many books that take complicated ideas and oversimplify them so the ideas lose their meaning, this book simplifies ideas in ways that enhance their meaning by making the ideas easier to see and employ.If you do not understand all of the ins and outs of typical factory accounting, you may get a little lost from time to time. But that s not a problem. That accounting just distorts common perceptions of what needs to be done. You can safely skip anything you don t understand if you don t have to deal with such issues.While I did not observe any overt errors in the book, companies that do not put an asset charge on operational assets could make the mistake from this book of seeking too little profit. You need to earn on-going returns that exceed your cost of capital, too.You will get the most from this book if you read The Fifth Discipline following it (if you have not read that book already). The discussion of the beer game simulation in The Fifth Discipline will add to your understanding of system dynamics.Following that book, I suggest that you then read The Balanced Scorecard and The Strategy-Focused Organization for ideas about how to use goals, measurements, and rewards to concentrate attention onto the highest leverage areas for your system.After you have finished employing what you have learned and helping others around you to learn more also, I suggest that you think about how to optimize the full upside potential more rapidly through the use of irresistible forces and 2,000 percent solutions to speed your progress. That should leave you with even more success and more time to enjoy it.Unblock the constraints on your progress!

Lebhafte Geschichte die das Prozess Denken anrregt - Die Lebhafte Geschichte der Rettung eines Produktionsbetriebes.Was mir besonder gut gefällt ist, der Leser wird hier selbst zum nachdenken angeregt. Das erreicht der Autor indem sich der Leser mit dem Fabrik Manager identifiziert und alle seine Denkprozesse nachvollzieht.Die Qualität des Hörbuches ist absolut super, mit mehreren Sprechern und auch ab und zu mal Geräsche.
Oooooops, was war denn das? - Soll das jetzt ein Lehrbuch sein oder ein Roman in Form eines Lehrbuches. Für mich ist das Resultat eher LEER, d.h. kein Nutzen erkennbar. Für einen Roman ist das Buch viel zu langweilig, für ein Lehrbuch ist es nicht fundiert genug. Schade, Geld vertan. Na ja, wenigstens hat das Buch zum Anzünden des Kaminfeuers einen gewissen Nutzen gehabt.
