( You will find a lot of material in the readings I have given you + a lot of material is
available in various websites if you have difficulty, do let me know)
These are Six topics and I would like one group to pick up each of
them and present in less than 20 PPT slides and in 20 minutes or less.
Some of you have worked before you joined IIM Indore can you look back
and see where you could have applied TOC in your work / business?
Some Points:
1) TOC has its own limitations. Hence not a solution for everything.
2) Some authors give TOC a cult like status we will study TOC from a utilitarian
perspective how can I use it and benefit from it. There are several good and
interesting ideas in TOC.
3) TOC thinking process is one of the modules we have it is very difficult to
teach this topic in one session Hence I am asking two groups to present
parts of this idea. This topic will be covered in an introductory fashion
rather than an exhaustive fashion. But this is applicable for many situations
in management and hence useful.
4) Organized Reading Material is not available for TOC in general and hence you
might feel that the reading materials are a little vague but these are rich in
ideas. If you master the first reading, then the others become simpler.
5) We will use Session 10 for examining Criticism of TOC + clearing any doubts
etc.
6) I am sending a small reading from the book The Goal .. please go through this
and we will use this in the first session. (Goal 4.pdf)
