The Goal By Eliyahu M. A Brief

Looking for Palestine by Najla Said is a coming of age story with a twist. Set mainly in New York City, Said tells us about growing up Palestinian-Lebanese American in a time when difference was not necessarily celebrated, and dealing with the demons in her own mind so that she could fully accept herself. Born to the world renown Dr. Edward Said and his wife, Mariam, Said spends her summers traveling to her mother’s home in Lebanon to visit family, learning to value the culture she was born into. Unfortunately, this love of her culture begins to fade as Said enters a primarily Caucasian elementary school. There she is faced with the idea that her culture is different and that she

Mansa Musa, the venerable emperor of Mali, famous throughout Africa, revered by his people, was a true renaissance man. Why has history forgotten such a man when it has remembered Julius Caesar, Henry VIII or Napoleon, but not this man? It is because small minded white men only respect other white men, they see all others as inferior. The white dominance of history is obvious when only recently are Asians being recognized, only recently people have heard of men like Genghis Khan or Confucius. Yet Africans have also had great people who need to be recognised and acknowledged. Now is the time to be rid of old prejudice and to acknowledge Mansa Musa, who was not only a great African but a king of one of the most enlightened empires of the

A novel The Committee by Sonallah Ibrahim tells a story of an Egyptian man that is sent to be questioned by the mysterious Committee. A couple months after being question by the Committee, the main character is then sent on a task to find an individual that aluminates. The protagonist decides to research about The Doctor, a prominent Arab figure, but the Committee comes to his house to notify him that he needs to change his topic. The main character’s decision not to change his topic makes him go through quite outlandish situations until he finally consumes himself. Ibrahim’s goal in writing The Committee was to take a critical look about the world around him, which consisted of money continuously going to the rich, Western countries or Egyptian elites, and never the hard working Egyptian. Ibrahim forces the main character to go through outrageous situations, which requires him to meet eclectic character, all to illustrate the authors point of the negativity of globalization and that Western society is pushing Egypt to extremes.

Many of us are very family oriented and believe that family should always be present in our life no matter what do in life. While some of us feel that, our desire is worth more important than family due to the lack of communication with family members. In the “Achievement of Desire” by Richard Rodriguez, Rodriguez recalls some of the difficulties he had at a young age, which was balancing his life academically and practicing the Mexican traditions. His desire was more important to him than his family because communication with his family was not as strong as before when he began to get more involved in his education, which separates him from his family mentally and physically.

Critical Chain by Eliyahu Goldratt was very similar to his previous novel entitled The Goal in the point that it elaborated on many concepts that were used to create improvements in the business world. Some of these concepts included a detailed explanation of the theory of constraints, bottlenecks and project time management.

To fully comprehend a work you cannot just read it. You must read it, analyze it, question it, and even then question what you are questioning. In Richard Rodriguez’s The Achievement of Desire we are presented with a young Richard Rodriguez and follow him from the start of his education until he is an adult finally having reached his goals. In reference to the way he reads for the majority of his education, it can be said he reads going with the grain, while he reads a large volume of books, the quality of his reading is lacking.

In Rodriguez’s essay, The Achievement of Desire, Rodriguez illustrates the characteristics of an automaton, thus confirming Freire’s views regarding the banking concept. Despite his classification as a "scholarship boy", Rodriguez lacked his own point of view and confidence, which led him to be dominated by his teachers and his books. In the eyes of Paulo Frerie, Rodriguez would be considered a receptacle. He was filled not only with his teacher’s information, but also with knowledge obtained from his reading of "important" books. Rodriguez is a classic student of the banking system.

Throughout the entirety of the book, The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement, author Eliyahu M. Goldratt focuses on demonstrating the importance of the Theory of Constraints and what corporations should do in order to increase profits. A major term used throughout the novel is “throughput,” which according to the text, is “the rate at which the system generates money through sales” (Goldratt 60). Once a bottleneck machine in a production process is identified, there are multiple ways to increase throughput without expanding the physical capacity of the machine.

The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt is an entertaining and thought provoking business book. The story is about Unico manufacturing plant and its manager – Alex Rogo whose job and marriage is hanging in the air. Bill Peach, who is the factory executive comes into the plant and notices that production has gone down since Alex has been appointed manager.

This quote is significant because it relates to the theme of Destiny and Self-Determination. Here Mameha is telling Chiyo that we do not choose what happens in life, we just simply follow our destinies day by day. Destiny and fate are both beliefs very important to Chiyo and also plays a role in who she later becomes. Chiyo also compares herself to a river, which she often does throughout the novel to exemplify that she merely flows through the river of life in complete freedom. She cannot control what happens in life but instead she must tolerate and learn to deal with life’s problems as they come.

The book has two parts. In the first 264 pages, a manufacturing plant manager turns his failing plant into a tremendous success. That part of the book ends with the manager's promotion to a position with oversight over several failing plants. In the second part of the book (73 pages), the manager prepares for his new job by trying to deduce a repeatable "process of ongoing improvement." He's trying to make sense of what happened in the first part of the book so he'll have half a chance of repeating that success on a greater scale.

Book Review of "Goal" 1. What is the problem? Alex Rogo was a plant manager at the Barrington Plant of Uniware, a division of UniCo. One day Bill Peach, division vice president visited his plant and found that there were lots of problems with schedule arrangement, quality, cost & inventory control in his plant. These problems had already made the organization lose money. At last Bill gave Alex three months to improve, otherwise, the plant would be closed. Three months?! That was all Alex Rogo was able to think about. Alex had to start to consider what was the goal of the manufacturing organization. What on earth was the GOAL of the manufacturing organization? Was it better customer service? Larger market share? Lower cost? High quality?
