Additional text

'Avery and Zabel's work remains an outstanding resource for up-to-date material on total quality management.' - American Reference Books Annual

'The mission for this excellent sourcebook is to summarize in one volume the best information available on quality management. The book unequivocally meets its aim, and it should satisfy the wide range of organisations and individuals for whom it was written - industry, government, academia, management consultants, quality engineers, reference librarians and information brokers. In addition, for students in this field of study, it also merits attention. Coverage is definitely international ... categories omitted in other reviews of this timely subject, small presses and associations, receive special notice. To find the references to quality management in an individual field of endeavour could be very difficult without this book ... well compiled and would be an inordinately useful addition to many collections. I recommend it highly.' - Business Information Alert
