After 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 specialize 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.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt was an educator, author, physicist, philosopher and business leader, but first and foremost, he was a thinker who provoked others to think. Characterized as unconventional, stimulating, and "a slayer of sacred cows," he urged his audience to examine and reassess their business practices with a fresh, new vision.
Dr. Goldratt is best known as the father of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a process of ongoing improvement that continuously identifies and leverages a system's constraints in order to achieve its goals. He introduced TOC's underlying concepts in his business novel, The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement, which has been recognized as one of the best-selling business books of all time. First published in 1984, The Goal has been updated three times and sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. It has been translated into 32 languages.
Heralded as a "guru to industry" by Fortune magazine and "a genius" by Business Week, Dr. Goldratt continued to advance the TOC body of knowledge throughout his life, building on the Five Focusing Steps (known as the process of ongoing improvement or POOGI) with TOC-derived tools such as Drum-Buffer-Rope, Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and the Thinking Processes. He authored ten other TOC-related books, including four business novels.
Born in Israel on March 31, 1947, Dr. Goldratt earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Tel Aviv University, and a Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy from Bar-Ilan University. He is the founder of TOC for Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing TOC Thinking and TOC tools to teachers and their students, and Goldratt Consulting. In addition to his pioneering work in business management and education, Dr. Goldratt holds patents in a number of areas ranging from medical devices to drip irrigation to temperature sensors. He died on June 11, 2011, at the age of 64.

高德拉特果然喜欢去研究瓶颈的问题。书中以一间ERP软件公司为例,在公司高速发展的过程中遇到了瓶颈:那就是怎样在客户数量有限,被开发得差不多的的情况下仍然保持公司业绩的高速增长。他提出了不要只是出售科技,而应出售价值。我认同他的观点,ERP软件并不是一个技术难度特...
评分这本书本身应该不是关于TOC的,但是同样这本书提出了一个尖锐的命题就是:“ERP企业到底能为客户提供什么价值?这些价值是否能够衡量?”过去,在实施信息系统的时候,企业往往看重的所谓“节约订单处理时间,降低信息的不对称”等虚的效益。没有谁真正思考过,ERP如何为企业带...
评分计划以后每看一本书,都至少写一篇笔记,这算是计划的第一篇吧。 因为最近一直在关注ERP方面的内容,特别是在和学生开展《ERP沙盘模拟》、以及自己参观东莞等企业、自己所在学校的经历,发现 企业信息化 在提高生产率方面的重大改进。 但是,改进并不会由于使用了E...
评分书很薄,不到200页,用了2天4个小时读完,很喜欢这种简单明快的风格。作者高德拉特非常有意思,本身是个默默无闻的物理学家,却由于发明的TOC法(The ory of Constraints,中译名约束理论)在管理学上名声大噪,但奠定他宗师地位的TOC法直到他的小说畅销才开始为人所知,...
评分刚看《仍然不足够》,很快就被它吸引住了,然后又仔细地读过3遍,确实是本好书,很值得大家仔细阅读和思考。强烈推荐! 文章从ERP供应商的视角,描述了大客户出现市场饱和的状况、客户对系统不断提出需求使软件越来越庞杂,客户投入大量IT投资却收效甚微的场景。这些问题不都...
