About this listen
Using the unique business-novel format, It's Not Luck continues the story of The Goal protagonist Alex Rogo as he navigates a new set of challenges facing the now over-diversified and under-profitable UniCo, where he has risen to the rank of division manager.
With an engaging voice and dynamic plot, Goldratt shows how to apply his Theory of Constraints (TOC) to achieve ongoing improvement in sales and marketing, inventory control, and production distribution. In addition, he introduces techniques for successful conflict resolution on both a business and a personal level.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) has been successfully applied in almost every area of human endeavor.

Dr. Goldratt exhorts his readers to examine and reassess their lives and business practices by cultivating a different perspective. In his latest book, The Choice, Goldratt once again presents his thought provoking approach.

In this intriguing business novel, which illustrates state-of-the-art economic theory, Alex Rogo is a UniCo plant manager whose factory and marriage are failing. To revitalize the plant, he follows piecemeal advice from an elusive former college professor who teaches, for example, that reduction in the efficiency of some plant operations may make the entire operation more productive. Alex's attempts to find the path to profitability and to engage his employees in the struggle involve the listener; and thankfully the authors' economic models.

Read it once, read it often, take notes, change your life for the better.
this is an educational / business novel that helps you learn as you go through the story. it focuses on logic trees and using them to better any situation in life.
If you are not involved in business, you don't need to read the first book, The Goal, at all. If you are, then you absolutely should because it is just as groundbreaking only in a different way.
The plot is engaging, and the conclusion is supremely satisfying, even going as far as to build on one of the conclusionz of the first book while also summarizing it, so that a reader is perfectly fine if they haven't read the first one.
This book can change your life if you apply the principles, and maybe read it a few times and do some research into logical reality trees.
Unbeatable. Even more Universally Applicable than The Goal

There is no fancy marketing and there is no fancy title. but this book is backed by years of experience and the author is a man that people paid good money whenever they went to go hear him speak. We are lucky to have this book that he took the time to write. It is a wonderful lesson.
A must read after "The Goal"
