I need them ..

THE GOAL, LEE IACOCCA BOOKS, DR DEMING, BOOKS ON KAISAN, KANBAN/PULL FLOW, JIT, ETC ETC.

I would perfer something like the goal, I read it a long time ago but you need to read these books more than once. Want to get them, order them through amazon or some equivilent china web-site.

Spank you velly much ... :wink:

Spantaculous, i will add those 2 to my list. I have thought Iacocca's autobiography would be good, except i usually get afraid of a book if it's thicker than a ham sandwich. Cheers ..

The Goal is indeed an excellent book.
I never read it, I listened to the audiobook version (have it with me if you want bougs).
I have some other of his stuff in PDF format if you want. You could easily get it printed if you prefer to read it on paper (I have this application that condenses PDFs to half the size and organize it

I never managed to finish Iacocca's bio, but Akio Morita's (Sony) I remember being loads of fun.

Oh, I have something for you (this one paper based). It's called The Creative Priority, about this American dude that starts working for Nissan doing design work.


I got the other day some 200 PDFs with 7 to 10 pages summaries of a number of business books. If anyone is interested PM me. Some of the summaries are quite good.
