Assessing Business Excellence: A Guide to Self-assessment - Tapa blanda

'If you could choose two people to write you a guide to self-assessment in your organization, I cannot think of better authors than Les Porter and Steve Tanner. Their collective knowledge on the subject is second to none and it is encapsulated in this refreshing book on assessing business excellence. They have used the integrated total quality framework to give far more than just a 'how-to' book - one that can help organizations actually achieve excellence'. John Oakland
