Book Description

January 1992
This book is about rethinking, reworking, or reinforcing past solutions. It outlines not only the importance and history of qualiy in education, but also the basic principles that underline the management of quality and different quality opportunities. This book is unique in its desire to merge the philosophy and tools of strategic quality management from industry with the thoughts of campus administrators and call for sharply defined measures of educational quality that can shape the perceptions of our constituencies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Because On Q is a lively readable work that presents quality as a competitive strategy...as a part of a comprehensive system for fundamental change in the way colleges and universities behave as learning organizations... the book meant a great deal to us at Clemson. Our strategic planning model integrates continuous improvement as a vital tool for implementing our strategy. Dan Seymour's insights have reinforced the validity of our approach. (Max Lennon )

Dan Seymour's On Q is a jewel among quality literature. It is well written, easy to read and full of practical commonsense insights for those on the quality journey. On Q should be required reading for community college presidents. (Marvin Lane )

For much of the higher education community this is the book of the hour...the eleventh hour. (Peter Likins ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
