...Total Quality Management Concepts, Evolution and Acceptability in Developing Economies R.R. Lakhe Shri Ramdeobaba Kamla Nehru Engineering College, Nagpur, India, and Total Quality Management 9 Received March 1993 Revised October 1993 R.P. Mohanty National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Bombay, India Introduction In recent years, Total Quality Management (TQM) has received worldwide attention and is being adopted in many industries, particularly in developed economies. TQM has evolved primarily because of the changes in the global economy and also because of demand in market forces. Although control of quality has been practised in many industries for several years, the adoption of TQM as a major preoccupation of businesses worldwide is very recent. The traditional control methods being implemented in industries to ensure quality have not yielded the results that were expected of them. Furthermore, rapidly changing technology and customer expectations have already affected organizations worldwide and thus have promoted the need for taking a new look at quality management. In this study we intend to discuss how TQM can be adopted in organizations that are replacing existing quality control systems to promote competition and growth. Various pioneering researchers have made significant contributions towards the design, development and application of the TQM system. This article takes a synoptic view of the existing state-of-the-art and makes...

...QUALITY CONCEPT IN EDUCATION In recent years, the discussion and debate on the quality of higher education and the mechanism for quality assurance in higher education have growth intensely. With the upgraded formerly known as vocational school to vocational college, quality of the end product should not be compromised. Concern on quality did start from the 13th and 14th century where it more focused on the term of education, the delivery system and the intended audience at that time. The setting for education at that time was for select few or the elite classes as the early European universities were set up to the educated status of the nobility. The criteria for quality assurance at the time were limited to determining the expertise of the teacher and students performance through demonstration of mastery of knowledge. Nowadays the democratization of education has change the delivery of formal education. Highly educated society is seen as essential for growth and development of a country.

...Country: Austria Topic: The Right of Indigenous People ------------------------------------------------- Committee: United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) The past decades have seen an increase in the awareness of human rights; one of the proofs of this is the formation of the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2006. Among the problems that this council currently faces are the rights of indigenous people. Indigenous peoples are a community/group of people which was born in and inhabits a particular territory, with cultural or historical distinctiveness from other populations before being conquered by any colonial societies. They are also responsible for playing a role in protecting and conserving the territory they inhabit. In the past these people were vulnerable to exploitation and oppression from groups of colonists that form a nation state and politically dominant ethnic groups. It has been estimated that the total current population of indigenous peoples are 220 million to 350 million. With such a large population, these people deserve the rights to protect them from threats risen from western development such as the killing of animal species for economic interests, deforestation, mining, oil exploration, carbon emitting industries, persistent organic pollutants and the insatiable consumption patterns of western industries. Indigenous rights are rights that exist in recognition of the specific conditions of the indigenous peoples, which includes not only...

...Economy of a nation is a widely accepted indicator of the prosperity shared by the people of that country. We are acknowledged to be one of the fastest in climbing our economy ladder. While our economy is ranked third by the purchasing power parity and ninth in attaining a nominal GDP, we as citizens of a responsible nation, are working harder than ever before, and rejoicing the statistical improvements pertaining to these economic jargons. However, we still are unaware, by and large, of the disparity between what we call the progress in creation of wealth and the true measure which comprehensively defines the overall well being of human life in a society. The human development index (HDI) is now invariably accepted as the ‘real’ parameter to work upon, before being considered in the league of developed nations. In 2011, India was ranked 134th on the human development index. It is needless to point out that literacy and quality of education, makes a very important contribution to the improvement of HDI for a nation. Indian education sector needs to be revamped at a mass scale. The education sector in our country is bi-partite, where public participation is paralleled by a private section. The government participation started right after independence, with the aim of fulfilling the expanding educational needs of a newly made, yet poorly literate nation. Given the fact that missionaries, charitable lot of schools and other not-for- profit organizations have done their best, the...

...positive changes to the world, such as in finance, medical knowledge, cultural exchange, and technology. These improvements have enlarged the human scope of knowledge, and in turn increased people’s living standard. People’s ability to satisfy themselves in their lifetime is defined as the standard of living. The measurement of it depends on human beings’ income growth, educational standard, life expectancy and some other aspects. As time goes by, globalization has embedded itself deeply into various communities and played an important role in affecting the quality of their lives. Concepts such as the growth of GDP, income per person, mortality rate, and higher education are all connected to globalization and life satisfaction. Therefore, with the onset of globalization, it is proven that the standard of living has consistently been improved in the majority of countries in this world through economic, biological, and educational means. The question then becomes: “how does one measure standard of living?” According to McGillivray and Noorbakhsh, “empirical research has proposed a number of composite indexes intended to measure multi-dimensional well-being”, and that “the best known, and that which has received the most attention, is the UNDP’s Human Development Index, (HDI)” (McGillivray, 113). In order to provide a more comprehensive view of living standards, the United Nations Development Programme has developed this particular index to summarize “achievements in basic human development...

...Effects of globalization in education Nowadays no one can ignore the importance of education to society. Education is a tool that will allow people to achieve every goal they set for their lives. Learning opens doors to a great world of possibilities that will most likely lead to success. People who are not fortune enough to receive a formal education will have to face a road full of difficulties throughout their lives. It is not a secret that the more education people have, the better standard of living they will enjoy. Globalization has brought an innumerable amount of positive and negative changes to the world. One of those aspects that has been affected by those changes is, without any doubt, education. Globalization has more positive than negative effects in education and the way it is delivered in both developed and developing countries. One positive effect that globalization has brought to education is the fast development in educational technology. A massive technological impact can be observed when comparing today’s classrooms and classrooms from some years ago. This impact is transforming the way the students learn and is equipping them with a variety of skills to confront a competitive global market that is demanding workers that are prepared to assume roles according to the organization’s requirements. Day by day we can see how vanguard technology is entering the classrooms. Smart boards, laptops, NEOs, video projection screens, on-line libraries, and classroom...
