Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges two essential aspects of assessing and achieving business excellence in 21st-century organizations. The author argues that transnational companies face a twofold challenge: managing global knowledge networks and multicultural project teams on the one hand; and interacting and collaborating across boundaries using global communication technologies, on the other. The author also argues that this dual challenge calls for the creation of a business excellence program that fits and thrives within these multicultural environments. In response, he reviews corporate practices in quality management and business excellence frameworks that have been extensively used on a transnational scale to drive organizational performance. The book approaches quality management as an element that is no longer a choice, but has now become a necessity if companies want to compete in highly globalized environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to help you put already-existing performance criteria in a context of your organizational system and assist you in using the criteria to assess problems in your organization. More importantly, this book will help you in designing systemic solutions to the systemic problems you have identified with easy-to-use samples and questions that draw out key areas where the organization needs to improve. Most organizations are not lacking in information; what is most often lacking is a framework that leaders can use to organize and make sense of the information they have. The authors provide such a framework through OPS. They will also help readers engage in “backwards thinking” to identify—and fix—real-world problems with practical solutions. This book is not an “answer book” in the sense that we present a series of common problems and the accompanying answers. To be sure, many such books exist—such as 101 Ideas for (fill in the blank). Most of these answers are based on someone’s recollection of what they did to solve a problem. The results of the solution, measureable gains, are seldom if ever reported. This book provides a system for discovering your own problems, developing solutions, evaluating success, and gathering information that will help to improve solutions should they fail on the first attempt. It is based upon more than 30 years of research within the discipline of human performance improvement.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book: Quality is key to the competitive advantage in today's business environment. In this book, the term Quality has been interpreted in its broader sense of overall performance of a organization rather than quality of products and services. The value of this book is in the rich experience of the Author in the body of knowledge of quality management, both in the national and international context. He has presented the subject in the way that it can be easily used in the practical situations, which would convince the reader of its applicability in the real world. In addition to traditional theory of TQM, the book also covers the new concepts of quality management developed in the last decade, such as Six-Sigma, Lean Production, CRM, Balanced Score Card and Corporate Social Responsibility. The book provides practical guidance for preparing comprehensive quality improvement plan, which not only covers production of goods and services, but also other departments such as Design, Marketing, Material Management and HR, all of which play an important part in achieving organizational excellence. Implementation of TQM is always a major problem. The book includes an exhaustive self-checklist, which can be used as a barometer for effective implementation. In addition to being a practical guide for the industry managers, it can also be used as a textbook on quality management by Management and Engineering institutes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although world-class firms like GE and Motorola have relied on Six Sigma to build their performance cultures, these processes are all too often left out of human resources (HR) functions. This lack of Six Sigma principles is even more surprising because preventing errors and improving productivity are so critical to the people management processes
