The analysis has been made of a process improvement plan in which the organization currently uses. Listed below are some tools and techniques that are used to measure quality and customer satisfaction within Riordan. Discussion will also include what party is ultimately responsible for quality assurance. Finally, a look at how Riordan’s process improvement plan is related to their strategic plan. Quality in the Strategic Plan and Objectives Quality is a key objective to any successful organization; this is true with the Riordan manufacturing group as well. The strategic plan is simply to develop and deliver a quality product on time. Building the brand through delivery is an excellent design and a key to the “Time to market” approach. With some improvements, the time to market will improve the quality of the products. Collaborating on the design of the Riordan product will assist in the over all quality as well.

This study is a part of a larger research programme aiming at building a model of intrapreneurship and testing the model in different kinds of organisations and contexts. In this paper we present results of the survey of 8 companies and 184 employee responses. Based on these preliminary results we discuss the findings and implications for further research. The study points out that the prerequisites and outcomes of intrapreneurship have a positive dependency relation. Higher levels of the prerequisites of intrapreneurship both in quantity and quality, the more outcomes of intrapreneurship are observed. Measuring intrapreneurship sheds light on some aspects of the phenomenon studied, but it also leaves several questions unanswered. Therefore, in order to better understand it and to benefit from phenomenon, it is suggested to use versatile research approaches and to follow up and analyse intrapreneurial movements within organisations on a longitudinal basis. Keywords: Intrapreneurship, entrepreneurship, measurement 1. Introduction Intrapreneurship is a concept linked to the entrepreneurial orientation...

...TQM Research Paper Introduction The past two decades have witnessed the rise and fall of countless short-lived fads. Some have attracted a flurry of book, articles, and seminars; others have been completely discredited. Businesses have realized that there is a need to restructure their business practices and become more customer-focused. All recent business approaches and techniques have generally aimed at improving performance, increasing profits, gaining market share, and most importantly satisfying the customer who has become more educated and more demanding than ever. In the last two decades two organizational development models have dominated the business world for a considerable period of time namely Total Quality Management (TQM) and Business Process Reengineering (BPR). Statement of Objective This paper aims to shed a novel light on the two most recent and prominent management approaches, namely TQM and BPR. In an attempt to examine the interaction between radical BPR and incremental TQM with respect to change management, I shall briefly discuss the two constructs and contemplate the roots and basic tenets that underlie each. BPR has been referred to in the literature as “the successor” of TQM and has been treated as an equal. I shall treat the similarities and common grounds among the two, as well as the differences between them. Next, I shall touch upon the weaknesses and highlights that distinguish each, and then move on to construct an integrated model in an...

...Sprint Performance Management System Douglas Tennyson Excelsior College Abstract Every company needs to have a performance management system in place to build employees into what the company desires from them, to help them retain the best employees and to assist with active communication. Sprint seems to have a performance management system today that is much better than it was previously and this paper will explore the current performance management system and compare it to the old one and also make recommendations as to what Sprint can do to improve their current system. Sprint is a telecommunications company that specializes in mobile devices and mobile service. They currently hold fourth place in the mobile provider market being overtaken by T-mobile in 2015 according to a report on RCwireless.com with Verizon and AT&T maintaining a firm grip at the top of the market share. "The report found that "no major shifts in market share among the major four carriers" between now and 2020" (Kinney, S. (2015). One of Sprint's bigger problems was their employee turnover rate; they were losing employees faster than they were getting new ones. This would be a problem for any company, but especially for a company that is in the cutthroat business of cell phones and service. Trying to grow and take more of the market when you can't keep the trained employees created a problem for Sprint and they knew they needed to address this. "In July 2002, Towers Perrin released a...
