Abstract: | This paper explores the quality initiatives of various industries and examines the links between quality management implementation and quality outcomes. The authors use the scenario in Hong Kong as a first step in addressing these research inquiries. Using Black and Porter's (1996) instrument and the various perceived performance measures representing quality management implementation and quality outcomes, a mail survey was conducted to collect data from over 1000 companies with operational quality management systems and received 304 valid responses for data analysis. |
