Sommario/riassunto

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Bolivia ha atravesado por los más largos períodos de inestabilidad política y social en Latinoamérica. En El embrollo boliviano. Turbulencias sociales y desplazamientos políticos (1952-1982). Jean-Pierre Lavaud analiza en detalle la movilización de los grupos sociales que, de manera mis o menos directa o determinante, inciden en el proceso político nacional y motivan los cambios gubernamentales: la clase política, tanto civil como militar, los administradores del trabajo colectivo y, también, los mineros y campesinos. A esta convergencia en torno al poder nacional, hay que añadirle también la influencia de los intereses extranjeros, sobre todo, norteamericanos.  Al final del análisis, se observa que importantes sectores de la sociedad civil, entreverados unos con otros, dependen del Estado y que les es vital poder o intentar controlarlo: las turbulencias sociales y los desplazamientos políticos, fruto de esa necesidad vital, se traducen en la inestabilidad gubernamental que signa el período (1952-1982) analizado por Lavaud.  Y, más allá del



caso boliviano, el modelo aquí propuesto, para explicar las razones de inestabilidad sociopolítica, es aplicable, ciertamente, a otros procesos análogos. El embrollo boliviano (1952-1982) de Jean-Pierre Lavaud es un detallado estudio de caso, por un lado, y, por otro, también ofrece un modelo explicativo, extrapolable a muchas otras sociedades donde el Estado es uno de los pocos caminos que llevan al poder.

Sommario/riassunto

Businessmen and managers, consultancy clients, readers of the Goldratt novels, and workshop attendees often ask: What is this Theory of Constraints? How can it benefit me? How is it different from other management theories? Is there something I can read to quickly understand its fundamentals?   This book is an answer to these questions. Using engaging language and offering many real-life examples, it provides an overview of the methods and tools of the Theory of Constraints: Drum-Buffer-Rope, Buffer Management, Throughput Accounting, Pull Distribution, Irresistible Offer, Corporate Strategy, and Viable Vision. You will learn how to recognize and use constraints, how to complete projects quickly and reliably, and how to gain a competitive lead and to turn it into profit.
