The Executive Guide to Implementing Quality Systems Total

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mears, Peter / Mears / Voehl, Frank, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Presenting an unusual and unique system for Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), this new book is geared for executives who want or need to support quality improvement in their organizations. It is the contributions made by CEO's and upper management that moves the quality process forward, and because of this structure, The Executive Guide to Implementing Quality focuses on the concepts, thinking, and systems necessary for management to operationalize the CQI philosophy. Because quality is not a management problem but rather a problem that involves and requires all people working together at all levels to participate and cooperate, management must engage the organization in the processes that will improve the quality of their goods or services. It is, however, management's job to lead, organize, structure, motivate, and involve the organization in those strategies and systems that will ensure quality improvement. This book explains how to do that. Readers are given a series of exercises and explanations that will help them master the skills and understanding required to identify the management systems they need to support their quality improvement. After reading about a concept, they are asked to contribute to exercises designed to inspire creative and innovative thinking and the exploration of multi-functional options. And because it is the job of management to initiate the quality movement, this book shows how to change defensive thoughts like that won't work for me into what is there that will work here. In addition to showing management how to take the lead in installing CQI in their organization, it also shows how to install the concepts through leadership teams, how to bring out the best in people, how to get top performance from employees and become a world-class organization, and how to reinforce the behaviors necessary to achieve the visions and goals of the organization. This workbook is an easy-and-quick-to-use guide that shows how to identify the support systems that generate desirable outcomes and reinforces them through positive actions.

It is the revelation of the truth about life revealed to me from the mouth of Jesus, out of the belly of the Holy Spirit and from the breath of God. It reveals the sheep mentality from the goat mentality, a natural state of mind from a supernatural state of mind. It reveals the truth of God from the opinions of religion. This book takes you on a life-changing journey designed to impact humanity through all eternity. It is the truth that makes you free. It creates a wheel in the middle of a wheel. This book has understanding that creates a bridge over troubled waters, an ark of safety, and the Lord as our Shepherd. When you read this book you will find that humanity is in slavery to life, just as the Hebrew were in slavery to Pharaoh. You will find that slavery is always about economics. That Jesus died to free us from the contaminations of a mindset that holds us captive to a natural world system. A system that dictates life to us, causing us to conform to a way of thinking that robs us of our created value. Therefore, causing the gift of life to be contrary to the existence that God created it to be. WE ARE LIVING A COUNTERFEIT LIFE

Responsible Management of Information Systems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stahl, Bernd Carsten, PUBLISHER: IGI Global, Responsible Management of Information Systems discusses the question how can information systems be used and managed in a responsible manner. It does so by first defining the central concepts of information systems as the business use of information technology and the underlying concepts of ethics and morality. The term responsibility is introduced as a mediation of ethics and morality and a promising approach to normative questions. After demonstrating that the traditional notion of responsibility runs into many problems when applied to information systems the book develops a new, a reflective theory of responsibility. This theory that emphasizes the central characteristics of responsibility, namely openness, consequentialism, and teleology, is then applied to normative problems in information systems. It is shown that with the use of this theory the central moral and legal problems of information systems such as privacy or intellectual property can be successfully addressed.
