User Review -

Dr. Goldratt has succeeded in maintaining the balance between a treatise on a management theory -Thinking Process technique- and the story of Alex Rogo's professional life, after being elevated to the position of EVP and personal life, to be involved with the family of a working wife and frowning teenage children.
Those looking to know more about the management theory espoused in the book may be somewhat disappointed, but those who look forward to reading a management fiction can certainly look forward to a one-sitting-compelling reading.
So, once you are through with the book, you are certainly entertained, and you are no doubt wiser. Don’t be surprised if you start thinking of the ways to apply the techniques 'learnt', in your own life.
And why not, what the book prescribes is certainly do-able, in every person’s life. If you are good at analytical approach, you shall become better. And if you are not, you will certainly start being analytic.
