The globalization and rapid change environment push companies searching for new management philosophies to resolve core problem and to maintain their competitiveness edges. The Theory of Constraints (TOC) developed by Dr. Goldratt advocates that by implementing TOC common sense solutions can provide win-win strategy for companies to maintain competitive edges. This research develops a “TOC Common Sense Management Measure Scale” to verify this advocate. The study showed that a firm gets better performance if their managers have higher TOC common sense management scale and actively implement it. This proves that TOC is a very powerful solution for business improvement. Furthermore, we also find that the managers require the measure scale to realize the gap between the perception of TOC common sense knowledge and its implementation. The gap provides them knowing where and how to improve further.
