He is the author of several business novels:
* The Goal introduces TOC's accounting and process improvement
aspects; it is considered by some to be an important work on the topic
of focused performance improvement. It was followed by:
* It's Not Luck applies TOC to marketing.
* Critical Chain applies TOC to project management and illustrates
the so-called Critical Chain theory, and
* Necessary But Not Sufficient applies TOC to Enterprise resource
planning (ER) and operations software.
Cutting to the core constraints, the essence in business. Also in
life.
Great resources to explore.
