- Quality: The Small Business And Total Quality Management
- In many businesses, top-class quality is actually becoming the only road. If you're supplying giants (for example, in cars) they may well insist on quality certifications like BS5750.

- Managing Change: Preparing For The Unexpected In Business
- Some organisations which have reengineered the right way, by enlisting the collaboration of everybody affected, have found, to their intense relief, that people have cooperated fully in working themselves out of a job.

- Total Quality Management: How Total Quality Management Can Improve Your Company's Decision Making

- Growth In Business: Bigger Is Better But Only If It's The Right Kind Of Growth
- Why grow? This is a question that nobody asks, let alone answers. It's taken for granted in organizations that growth is good and non-growth is bad.

- SWOT: Assess The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities And Threats Of Your Business With SWOT Analysis
- How far is my company away from failure? The question itself sounds like an admission of inadequacy. The confident manager surely doesn't walk around waiting for nemesis to strike.

- Revolutionary Strategies: Forget About Evolving At Your Own Pace And Develop Revolutionary Strategies
- Most managers live in the past. That statement may sound ridiculous.

- Future Strategies: Forget The Past And Aim Your Future Strategies Towards A Clear End Result

- Business Strategy: The Conventional Unwisdom - Why Doing What You Are Told Is An Overrated Virtue
- Strategy has been having a wonderful run for management's money. Once, strategy was the somewhat arcane province of long-range corporate planners.

- Strategy And Tactics: What's The Difference Between Strategy And Tactics
- The urge to merge is ever-present in the corporate breast. The urge to demerge, however, is weaker and less likely to result in action. One major reason for this contrast in attitudes is almost primitive. Even a modest acquisition or merger adds visibly to management's power: by the same token,...

- Total Quality: TQM, Business Process Reengineering And Successful Management
- Quality is a word from which few managers can hope to escape for long these days.
