PRAISE FOR VALUE CREATION PRINCIPLES "In Value Creation Principles, Madden introduces the Pragmatic Theory of the Firm that positions the firm as a system fueled by human capital, innovation, and, at a deeper level, imagination. He challenges us to understand how we know what we think we know in order to better discover faulty assumptions that often are camouflaged by language.

La Gerencia es un tema práctico. La filosofía se percibe como lo contrario. ¿Por qué escribir un libro sobre filosofía de la gestión? En los negocios, como en los deportes, el enfoque está en ganar. Pero los grandes equipos y las grandes compañías son más que resultados inmediatos, desarrollan una filosofía central única que los hace grandes con el tiempo. Cuando el énfasis está solo en ganar al entregar las cifras, es probable que las compañías se comprometan con el desarrollo de su filosofía y su aplicación central. Este libro revela la Teoría de Restricciones como una filosofía de gestión práctica por medio de quince áreas, entre ellas la forma de lidiar con la incertidumbre, la complejidad y los conflictos, la estrategia de crecimiento, y también aborda el flujo de la ejecución de esta filosofía a través de los diferentes elementos de la operación. La primera mitad del libro hace énfasis en los principales errores de gerencia que se pueden cometer y sus implicaciones. La segunda mitad se centra en los componentes básicos del enfoque de Goldratt para el crecimiento y el éxito sostenibles.

De opvolger van de wereldwijde bestseller Het doel In 1984 verscheen de wereldwijde bestseller Het doel van Eliyahu Goldratt. Het doel is een boek vol eyeopeners voor iedere manager die meer zich wil krijgen in zijn bedrijf en heeft het managementdenken in de westerse wereld compleet veranderd. In Nederland en Vlaanderen zijn er al meer dan 100.000 exemplaren verkocht en vandaag de dag is het boek nog steeds een succes. Na het succes van Het doel bleef Goldratt zijn methodes verder ontwikkelen met de intentie om zijn nieuwste ideeën uit te werken tot een nieuw boek. Helaas overleed Goldratt in 2011. Zijn dochter Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag – met wie hij eerder het boek De keuze schreef – heef...
The powerful poetry of the Hebrew Psalms articulates a unique range of experience, even in translation. They explore the deepest concerns of individuals and communities. They are central to the performance of religion for both Jews and Christians. New discoveries, such as the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, have transformed our view of their role in Judaism, as has modern re-evaluation of the complicated relationship between Judaism and Christianity. Here a group of leading scholars sheds fresh light on the uses of the Psalms in post-biblical Jewish life in a multi-cultural world.
