In the 1990s we witnessed the growth of computer software providers from small businesses into multi-billion dollar giants. In 1998 it was easy for such companies to raise money. But investment funds have dried up. Why? And more importantly, is there a way to reverse the trend?

Cash is needed and Alex Rogo's companies are to be put on the block. Alex needs to complete the turnaround of his companies if they can be sold for the maximum return: if he fails they will be closed down. This text highlights the techniques needed to survive at home and at work.

Eliyahu M Goldratt, the author of The Goal , elaborates on his theories in his non fiction audio. He discusses how to implement his ideas and addresses some of the most asked-about elements, including: the basic assumptions of TOC; and why management assumptions must be changed to obtain lasting, bottom-line results.
