  For all practitioners who seek to use total quality management to improve their organizations effectiveness, efficiency and responsiveness, this title is the essential route map to business excellence. From two leading expert authors comes Assessing Business Excellence where the most recognized quality award criteria are used to explore the concepts of business excellence and self-assessment. The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the European Quality Award are just two of the business excellence frameworks described in this book for exploring the link between organizational activities and improved organizational performance. Assessing Business Excellence presents a strategic framework for business excellence and total quality management and shows how you can be actively involved in continuous improvement by systematically reviewing your business activities and results against holistic business excellence frameworks. It: introduces the major business excellence and total quality frameworks; compares the frameworks and identifies their strengths and limitations; and illustrates the practical benefits of self-assessment through case examples.
