The article deals with the problems of strategic management of an economic entity, the formation of its information base on the basis of the system of General quality management (TQM). Special attention is paid to the balanced scorecard (BSC) as the most promising direction of accumulation and obtaining information necessary for making informed management decisions in the short and long term, which is especially important in an unstable economic situation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between total quality management (TQM) and innovation and the way each impacts on the performance of agricultural research and development (R&D) organisations. Design/methodology/approach A gap score survey instrument based on the balanced scorecard approach, 25 most commonly reported TQM practices and two types of innovation were considered for data collection. Structural equation modelling was used for the analysis of the relationships between the surveyed constructs. Findings A positive relationship between TQM, innovation and performance was observed. A hypothesised model depicting the complex relationships between the investigated constructs was developed. Practical implications The model, which also predicts total effects of various organisational practices on performance, provides an opening for developing a TQM-innovation-performance framework for agricultural R&D organisations. Originality/value The survey instrument presents a novel approach for assessment of R&D policies and practices through determination of gap scores.

The aim of this research is to determine the extent to which Total Quality Management can be applied using a balanced scorecard according to the balanced scorecard dimensions from the perspective of the faculty and administrative staff at the Faculty of Politics and Economics, Suez University. To achieve this aim, the researchers used a descriptive research methodology based on the questionnaire for a sample of (33) faculty members, and the administrative staff at the Faculty of Politics and Economics, Suez University. Some faculties in Egyptian universities find it difficult to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of educational and administrative services performance which were provided to clients as well as the difficulty of measuring the outputs of these services, so Balanced Scorecard is the best tool for evaluating and measuring the performance of these services and outputs. The results of the study showed a statistically significant effect of the use of balanced scorecard dimensions (financial, internal processes, clients, and growth and learning indicators). One of the most important results of the research was that there is a clear variation in the level of awareness of the components of the use of balanced scorecard indicators in the application of total quality management, which reflects the importance of using the balanced scorecard in evaluating the university performance in light of the philosophy and mission of the university. The clients dimension is the most important dimension for it’s directly reflects on the satisfaction of clients from the provided service, and the financial perspective can be achieved by develop programs and academic services to increase the variety of revenues for the development of academic and administrative performance through the support of innovations and creative activities of scientific and professional efficiency of students, faculty members and administrators with the consolidation of a culture of technological knowledge of developments in the global academic arena.

Suitable Framework

Total quality management (TQM) is a set of opinions and ideas that widely called “management philosophy”. This management technique is able to assist the construction firms in improving continuously the organization's performance, in order to satisfy customers and survive in the market. The success of TQM implementation is tightly dependent on identifying and selecting the appropriate critical success factors (CSFs), quality tools, and performance measures (KPIs) within TQM framework. Doubtlessly, a set of suitable performance measures (indicators) has a significant role to verify and ensure that TQM implementation can successfully achieve its aims in the organization. Thus, the main purpose of this paper was to develop a suitable framework to assess the effects of TQM implementation on organization's performance in construction industry. For this aim, the study was conducted a comprehensive literature review to specify the existing key performance indicators (KPIs) from 26 TQM frameworks that formulated by scholars. In data analysis, the only 20 KPIs were found of 26 TQM studies. The extracted KPIs (20) classified based on four dimensions of balanced scorecard (BSC), and then arranged from highest to lowest frequency for each perspective of BSC. Finally, a total of ten KPIs were determined and presented within BSC system as an appropriate performance measures framework, which enables evaluating critical areas that very vital to the success of TQM implementation in construction firms at project and enterprise levels.

Methodological Aspects

The main purpose of this paper is to improve on the conceptual as well as the methodological aspects of BSC as a quantitative model by combining elements from traditional balanced scorecard (BSC) thinking with the Systems Thinking. This is done by combining short and long term aspects of measurements. The result is then used to build and construct a balanced scorecard model for strategic learning with the specific aim to maintain satisfied customers and motivated employees. Strategic planning, operational execution, feedback, and learning are some of the most important key features of any performance measurement model. This paper aims to address not only the conceptual domain related to BSC, that is, learning and system dynamics causality and feedback, but also the methodological domain concept of precision solved by differential equations. Our results show how a potential move from a static strategic vision map to a linked and dynamic understanding may be not fully realistic but very useful for learning purposes. The new knowledge obtained from the learning feedbacks fertilizes both decision discussion and decision-making and what may be required in order to move to the next level of BSC and system dynamics integration.

Purpose – To guide organizations toward total quality management (TQM), various models have been developed such as the European Foundation for Quality Management Excellence Model (EFQM Model). The purpose of this paper is to conduct a longitudinal investigation of whether the EFQM Model can serve as a framework for TQM in healthcare. Design/methodology/approach – Data on a national representative survey about quality management (QM) in the hospital population in the Netherlands were used to conduct this study. The survey had five measurement points between 1995 and 2011. Findings – The results of the study show that applying the EFQM Model in hospitals is related to improvement in organizational performance over time, a feedback loop in which hospitals use their results to further improve their organizational processes is established, and improvement is stronger when all the model’s elements are considered simultaneously. Practical implications – The results of the study can be applied by quality managers of healthcare institutions to achieve higher quality of care. Originality/value – Previous research on the relationship between the EFQM excellence model and TQM neglects two essential characteristics of the TQM philosophy, namely, the holistic perspective on QM and the presumed feedback loop of organizational performance that feeds a cycle of continuous quality improvement. The study provides new insights into the long-term benefits of applying the EFQM Model as a framework for TQM in healthcare.
