Efficiency Bringing Quality Management to the head of the table was not exactly the same as introducing black baseball players to the major leagues; but there were enough similiarities to make me feel towards Harold Geneen what Jackie Robinson felt towards Branch Rickey.

And it is not only FREE, it is the most profitable product line we have.” • Quality Initiatives • Quality is Free • But only if you invest in it. • What is Quality? • “Meets Requirements” • Quality Cycle From 1959–1977 Harold Geneen was the president and CEO of International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. (ITT). He grew the company from a medium-sized business with $765 million sales in 1961 into multinational conglomerate with $17 billion sales in 1970
