...http://docslide.us/documents/individual-examination-bt-plc-m31005.html Individual Examination: British Telecom Cape Town CONTENTS 1 Executive Summary On the surface it would appear that British Telecom has addressed each area of TQM in their effort to implement a QMS system. They have had good financial results. Their people/staff satisfaction is high. Their customer satisfaction index high and are termed “loyal”. What really happened was that they had not implemented TQM correctly. In their attempt to focus on the customer they had neglected their staff. During Project Sovereign BT lost 130 000 staff members. This may have been because the strategy and vision was not shared with all the staff. The outcome was however that they probably lost many good people. The main component that was missing from their TQM implementation was Systems Thinking. They did not implement a system that allowed issues which required improvement to become new projects. Thus even though they claimed they were continuously improving, there were very few new initiatives. Prepared by: Deon du Plessis Page 2 of 19 Created on 04/04/15 Individual Examination: British Telecom Individual Examination: British Telecom The solution will be to become a true BSPM learning organisation. This will involve some more changes to the structure where the continuous improvement projects will be programme managed across the value chain. 2 Question1: What role has the Quality Management...

Furthermore, based in Japan, DoCoMo has the advantage over American and European counterparts, like AT&T, Sprint and Vodafone AirTouch, of being closer to the 3.3 billion person Asian market. In addition, DoCoMo is at the leading edge of technology and is expected to be the first mobile operator to launch a 3rd Generation (3G) wireless network by Spring 2001. NTT DoCoMo Background In 1959 Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) entered the telephone industry in Japan with an offering of maritime telephone service. They added paging services in 1968, car telephone services in 1986, and in-flight public telephone service in 1987. In 1991 NTT established a separate company to provide wireless communication offerings, NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc. This new company was then spun off by NTT in 1992, ultimately resulting in one of the biggest initial public offerings for the time in 1998, and is now 67.1% owned by NTT with the balance of shares owned by public investors.

Weinstock, who died in 2002 at the age of 77, created GEC and was the UK’s leading industrialist for over 30 years. Weinstock graduated from the London School of Economics in 1944. He worked for the admiralty for three years before moving into property development. In 1954, he joined his father-in-law’s firm, Radio and Allied Industries, where he built a strong reputation for his managerial abilities. In 1961, the firm made a reverse takeover of the larger but struggling GEC. Weinstock became GEC’s Managing Director, a post he held for over 30 years until he retired in 1996. In his period as Managing Director, he turned GEC into one of the great British success stories, through a combination of acquisition and organic growth. In 1961, GEC took over AEI, and in 1968 they bought English Electric, the owners of Marconi. GEC’s acquisitions continued into the 1970s and 1980s. Under Weinstock, GEC acquired a portfolio of solid, well-regarded and profitable companies, including Hotpoint, Avery, Metropolitan Vickers, Yarrow Shipbuilders and Marconi. GEC’s last purchase under Weinstock was the VSEL shipyard at Jarrow, reflecting its commitment to maintaining the strength of its defence businesses, which accounted for some 50 per cent of sales and profits....
