Two management models predicting productivity TQM compared with used contemporary bundles of practices of learning and work organisation in Statistics SwedenYearbook on productivity 2011 2011-10-05
Six TQM principles Measurement in US (Hackman and Wageman. 1995). They are: i. Problem solving teams ii. Investment in training iii. CEO:s responsibility throughout the organisation iv. Supplier relation v. Customer preferences vi. Bench marking 2010-06-03
Regression models predicting value added per employee 2011-10-05
Prel. conclusion The bundles of used learning and work practices predicts higher productivity better than TQM The difference between the two models is that • Firms using bundles include temporary contracts • Firms using TQM includes instead: - cooperation and outsourcing • cooperation with use of ICT • and cooperation in external R&D • many direct reporting departments to CEO 2011-10-05
