Goldratt's early book, "The Goal" was a novel about a harried manager.
It's become popular as a way of discussing constraints in a real
company without the statistical focus typical to business school
analysis.
Goldratt's approach to bottlenecks in a business is described a
"Theory of Constraints" and is often discussed in the context of
continued process improvements or total quality management.
Here's a bibliography:
