Abstract

Higher Education Institutions worldwide, in order to enhance product and service quality and boost customer satisfaction, are replacing conventional management methods and systems with Total Quality Management (TQM). Higher education managers need to cultivate and sustain a quality culture within their institution emphasizing the following elements: (a) quality leadership, (b) student orientation, (c) employee empowerment, (d) teamwork, and (e) continuous quality improvement. Deming, furthermore, pointed out that the necessity of top management involvement, attention to the customers' needs, and the participation of all staff in the process of continuous improvement, were fundamental keys to corporate success. Chapter three presents a brief overview of the Deming Management Theory, the elements of a Quality and Excellence Culture and the theory of Total Quality Management, in order to help the reader understand why Deming and TQM have gained such popularity in the management community.
