Shiba and Walden have significantly revised their classic,
A New American TQM. With new methodologies and case studies, this work is one of the most comprehensive studies of management theory and business success. The authors identify a comprehensive approach to management that goes beyond operations improvement to help executives and managers create unique organizational capabilities.
They contend that organizations must develop skills in four major areas: customer focus, continuous improvement, total participation, and societal networking.
They present proven methods that enable dynamic implementation strategies, facilitate ongoing learning, and encourage continuous diffusion of evolving information and quality practices throughout an organization’s entire network.
Techniques described have been instituted at Analog Devices, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Teradyne and many other companies. Numerous in-depth case studies from these and other companies illustrate actual implementations.

Shiba is a truly great teacher, researcher and innovator ... ."
