BOOK INFORMATION: The Goal, by Eliyahu Goldratt and Jeff Cox, North River Press
Project Guideline:
You will simply create a book report. Your job is to help us understand: 1. exactly what
happened in each chapter, and 2. why this is important. You should be able to give a
complete description of the major events of the chapters. Most of our attention will focus
on Alex’s adventures at work, but there will be many significant developments in his
home life. Don’t just skip over those things, but report them when they seem important.
Be creative as you report the major events. Feel free to include any drawings, charts or
spreadsheets to have a better explanation of exactly what happened and why it is
significant.
-Start with a description of all characters in the book followed by an executive summary.
-Continue with the summary of each chapter (40 chapters total) to include the key ideas, highlights, major
events. Paraphrase the information, but use a short quote when appropriate. Be
creative.
-When TOC concepts are introduced in a chapter (i.e. bottleneck), give a thorough
description of that concept by researching from external sources.
-Times New Roman, 12pt. double space.
-Minimum 8 pages max 15 pages. MUST BE ORIGINAL WORK.
-Citation should be done in APA style.
-Evaluation and conclusion (about one paragraph)-Give your opinion about the book
(i.e. Do you think the book makes a significant contribution to the field? Was it
interesting to read?).
-Any drawings/charts/spreadsheets should be attached as appendices.
