Critical Chain (The North River Press, 1998) is a fast-paced business novel that does for project management what Goldratt's other novels have done for production and marketing. In this tale, Professor Richard Silver has a problem: The university president wants to slash his business school's budget and stop granting tenure. To save his job, Silver devises a way to draw new MBA students to his program, which includes teaching project management in a new way. Goldratt tracks Silver's progress as he leads his students to solutions for the project management difficulties they face in their own companies.

Increasingly during the next several years, ISO 9000 will enter the day-to-day world of lawyers. Corporate attorneys will need to know what it is, how it operates, how it might affect their company, the types of legal exposures and legal protections it offers or creates, and how to go about defending their companies in the event of a lawsuit. ISO 9000 … A Legal Perspective (INFORM, 1998) explores ISO 9000 from a lawyer's perspective: its origins and structure; the interrelationships of the different ISO 9000 standards; and its possible impact on corporate legal offices and law firms in the future.

Fusion Leadership (Berrett-Koehler, 1998) describes a new way of leading based on the principles of fusion (joining together) rather than fission (splitting apart or separation). It details a method for bringing individuals together to accomplish mutual goals based on shared vision and values. Fusion leaders are those who engage not only the bodies and minds of their employees but also their hearts and souls. Unlike the traditional, hierarchical management style used for centuries in business, fusion leadership supports personal growth and ingenuity --  qualities that facilitate change.
