Organizational culture for total quality management. Total Quality Management & Business Excellence, 24(5/6), 678-692. Doi:10.1080/14783363.2012.707409The authors of this journal article research which organizational culture is the best fit for the implementation of Total Quality Management. It looks at the history behind TQM, which is needed to understand what TQM is, and how to identify a culture that is the best fit for it. Organizational culture is defined and examined. It then combines the two and how they work together. Finally, the authors tie TQM to company performance. This journal article is similar to what my research will include.
