Description
Summary:In operation management/strategy research field, Total Quality Management (TQM) has been considered as infrastructural strategy. Both manufacturing and service organizations trend to implement this strategy in order to maintain their competitive advantages. The purpose of this study is to develop the conceptual model of TQM implementation. Authors review updated literature on TQM research organized along two main themes: evolution of TQM considering as a set of practice, and its impacts to organizational performance. Two research questions are proposed in order to re-validate TQM constructs: (a) Is the set of practices associated with TQM valid as a whole? (b) What performance measures should be considered to exhibit an effectiveness of its implementation?
