Achieving World-class Status Through Organizational Learning

Résumé du livre

Superior technology and management expertise have been the keys to world dominance in construction firms. However, with the changing global economy, and a declining domestic market, businesses have been looking for more international opportunities. Four paradigms using continuous improvement programs may help give an organization a competitive edge in the global market: Organizational Learning, Total Cost Management (TCM), Benchmarking, and Business Reengineering. A commitment to organizational learning, continuous quality improvement, and the four paradigm philosophies, as well as viewing an organization with a global eye should help firms maintain a competitive global advantage. Steps for implementation, models, and definitions are provided.
