The
Scientific School Of Management
[ send me this paper
]
A 6 page study of the first management theory
-- formulated by Frederick Taylor before the
turn of the century. Always one wanting to
"improve" standard, Taylor was the
initiator of time studies and assessment of
numbers of movements workers made in order to
complete a task. The first major outgrowth of
Taylor's work was that of Walter A. Shewart,
who introduced statistical analysis to
Taylor's model. Shewart's protegé, W. Edwards
Deming, is now known as the father of Total
Quality Management (TQM). Taylor's name is not
well known today, but his theories, more than
80 years after his death, are the principles

Managing Workplace Diversity
[ send me this paper
]
A 5 page paper discussing the benefits of
effective diversity management. The days of
the myth of the homogenous workforce are as
far past as is that of Total Quality
Management (TQM) applying only to
manufacturing environments. Too many complain
that in today's highly competitive business
environment that there is no room for
management approaches that are believed to be
impossible to measure, but the business
results of effectively managed and highly
diverse organizations belie that objection.
Diversity-conscious organizations are finding
that diversity can be an asset rather than the
drain that others insist it is. Bibliography

Pursuing the Customer Component of Total
Quality Management
[ send me this paper
]
A 21 page paper discussing the customer
satisfaction aspect of TQM, which has been
characterized as the least painful way to
achieve the levels of efficiency necessary to
gain and keep competitive advantage in today's
increasingly competitive business climate. Its
focus often is that of internal operations
only with little regard for the customer's
views of the organization's efforts, with a
common result that the organization
accomplishes fine internal advances but fails
to impress customers and therefore increase
business. Customer surveys can provide
invaluable information in ways the firm can
better serve its customers, thereby more
surely growing its business. In this paper,
ABC Company surveys a sample of 100 customers
and makes valuable discoveries that have the
potential of being beneficial to the company.

International Auto Makers' Strategies &
Tactics
[ send me this paper
]
A 10 page paper discussing the reasons for the
continued success of the Japanese auto makers
in their competition with America's. The
overall strategies and tactics are
distressingly simple. The Japanese have never
become complacent in their success in the

commitment to continually improve, as dictated
by the precepts of Total Quality Management (TQM).

is possible, they have known that improvement
is always possible. Detroit, on the other

find a laurel, such as the Ford Taurus, and

statement true. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
