| Abstract: | Managers in all sorts of organisations face the challenge of making decisions about business improvement methodologies. There is a need, especially in regard to time and cost, to provide guidance in choosing business improvement methodology or combination of approaches. This paper aims to review the effects of organisational size and sector on management choice. The findings of a multi-method approach research indicate that business improvement methodologies are not universal. A case study of a large organisation illustrates that executives will introduce business improvement methodologies based on the needs of the organisation, and learn and transfer knowledge form experts who are familiar with the tools. |
