Model for TQM success and failure

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We propose a model which helps explicate some of the reasons why TQM initiatives succeed or fail. Differences between a perceived organizational state and a desired organizational state motivate change and drive the selection of a change strategy. Differences between the perceived and expected effects due to chosen quality actions further motivate, or demotivate the desire for change and alter an individual's notion of TQM. The model has both explanatory as well as prescriptive use.
