Corn is a commodity that varies on many different levels. The rise and fall of the futures prices could be due to many things such as the condition of the crops. The particular year we had a rather dry summer and fall. This may have affected the crops to a great extent.

"The goal is about people trying to understand what makes their world tick so that they can make it better"(iii). It's about learning the consequences of a manager's positive and negative actions when running a production process. The author, Eliyahu Goldratt, presents this to his readers in a form of a captivating novel about a man who not only has to deal with the problems that occur at work on a day-today basis, but also the problems that he deals with at home.
