Inspiring fiction about Alex Rogo, the protagonist of Goldratt's excellent ‘The Goal', and his quest to turnaround three struggling businesses in the space of a few short months. Introduces readers to ‘Decision Trees', a means of getting to the crux of a problem to come up with a solution that might have ortherwise remained obscured. The reading around the Trees gets a bit wearisome at times, and I wasn't convinced of the their utility, but that aside, it's an inspiring business story that will give you lots of ideas of how to run a business and generate innovative strategies
