The Paradoxical Foundation of Strategic Management

At last – a systematic critique of the scientific discourse of strategic management. This fantastic book uncovers scholars' unquestioned assumptions and shows that by upholding these assumptions researchers obscure the paradoxical nature of strategic reasoning. To uncover the paradoxes of strategic management the author refers to the philosophy of Jacques Derrida. He delves into the internal contradictions that inevitably occur when theorizing about corporate strategy along the dimensions strategy context, process, and content and shows how these paradoxes can enrich future thinking about strategic problems.

Whereas the strategic planning orientation of the 70s and early 80s was still
dominated by a belief in feasibility, rationality, and the smooth implementation of
prefabricated strategies by top management, strategic management sharpened
our understanding of possible pitfalls during planning and put more emphasis on
the 'messy' realization of strategic plans. Moreover, the unavoidable paradoxes
and dilemmas that occur within strategizing are increasingly discussed when

World Class Performance Through Total Quality

A practical guide to implementation

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM) - A COMPETITIVE EDGE In the context of the European and Western manufacturing challenge being set by the 'Far Eastern Machine', it is of critical importance that manufacturing competitiveness is improved in Western companies. The ability to export successfully is becoming even more critical to the economic well-being of developed countries worldwide. The Japanese domination of the motor cycle and domestic consumer markets has had a significant impact on the balance of payments in Western Europe and the USA. All the signs are that Japanese companies are ready and able to enter other markets aggressively, through takeovers, acquisitions and off-shore manufacturing facilities. In Western Europe, the creation of the 'Single Market' in 1992 has provided major opportunities for companies to increase their market share. Unfortunately, many companies in the West have shown an inability to succeed even in their market when faced with tough, well-organized opposition, such as that from the Far East. There is very little time left for Western companies to catch up - the challenge is becoming more fiercely competitive daily. The time to improve competitive edge may be too late for many companies, as the European frontiers are dismantled and the Japanese companies continue to build off-shore plants in Europe. For example, it is a fact that companies are increasingly x PREFACE being forced to achieve world class manufacturing capability in order to compete and, in many cases, survive.

THE ROLES OF THE QUALITY MANAGER AND THE TOTAL QUALITY
MANAGER One of the problems of using the words Total Quality management is
the expectation from Quality professionals that this is in their area of responsibility
. After all, it must be the Quality manager's job to put in Total Quality – who else is
responsible? It is essential to understand that Total Quality has no more or less to
do with the Quality manager than the sales manager, production manager,

Building Total Quality

A guide for management

Building Total Quality is an essential reference to all those involved in the construction of a total quality organisation

1.1 TOTAL QUALITY If total quality were an unequivocal, clearly defined concept
today, this book could begin working towards its goal of providing a guide to the
construction and assessment of a corporate total quality system right from the
very first page. But this is not the case. A glance at the programmes of countless
total quality conferences and round tables all over Europe shows that the term
covers a variety of concepts; some are similar but not identical, while others may
be quite ...

Total Quality Management

The Key to Business Improvement

This work considers the strategic aspects of the key management issues of the future - Total Quality Management (TQM). TQM is a philosophy of management that strives to make the best use of all available resources and opportunities by constant improvement.

A traditional view of quality dictates that if you want better quality, then you will
have to pay for it. This view holds true if quality improvement is achieved merely
by increasing inspection and test activity to detect failures and then screen them
out before they reach the customer. In the past a lot of effort has gone into
attempting to prove that there is an optimal level beyond which there is no point
in spending to improve quality. This approach misses the fundamental point that

Marketing im strategischen Unternehmensnetzwerk

Erklärungsmodell und praktische Anwendung in der Versicherungswirtschaft

In vielen Branchen bewirkt der starke Wettbewerbsdruck eine Ausdifferenzierung der Wertschöpfungskette. Resultat ist der Zusammenschluss zahlreicher Unternehmen vor-, nach- und gleichgelagerter Wertschöpfungsstufen, gleicher und fremder Branchen, nationaler und internationaler Prägung zu strategischen Unternehmensnetzwerken. In Wissenschaft und Praxis gilt das Marketing als treibende Kraft bei der Entstehung, Evolution und fortlaufenden Gestaltung strategischer Unternehmensnetzwerke. Thomas Köhne analysiert das Phänomen strategischer Unternehmensnetzwerke und die sich dadurch verändernde Rolle des Marketings als solches. Er entwickelt ein branchenunabhängiges Erklärungsmodell des Netzwerkmarketings, das als Grundlage für eine versicherungsspezifische Untersuchung dient.

Internes Marketing, Unternehmenskultur und marktorientiertes Verhalten

Direkte, indirekte und moderierende Effekte

Beate M. Gleitsmann untersucht, ob das Interne Marketing marktorientiertes Verhalten der Mitarbeiter bewirken kann. Ihr Untersuchungsmodell, in dem die marktorientierte Unternehmenskultur als mediierende Variable zwischen Internem Marketing und marktorientierten Verhaltensweisen fungiert, macht deutlich, dass das Interne Marketing kaum Einfluss auf das Verhalten der Mitarbeiter ausübt, wenn keine marktorientierte Unternehmenskultur vorhanden ist.
