Abstract: | Responses from over 500 companies relating to their experiences with ISO-9000 implementation are presented. The results reveal the importance and the dual role of documentation as a critical factor necessary to obtain ISO-9000 registration. The findings also reveal that there is no significant difference between the two firm ownership types for all variables tested , indicating that ISO-9000 appears universal in applicability. |
