Communal education

Abstract

Reports on a survey, carried out in 1990, to ascertain the level of training and research needs in the European business community. Attempts to define what exactly TQM means to an organization. Indicates that European organizations do not invest adequate sums of money in TQM education and training. Concludes that top management commitment levels could be improved, and that more relationships between businesses and academic institutions need to be forged.
