"The book is a valuable contribution to the field of quality management- a crucial issue in this age of globalization. This book should be extremely useful to heads of educational institutions, to those who need to brush up their appreciation of the quality movement within education, and especially for those practitioners who are attempting to implement Total Quality Management as a part of a broader movement for institutional change."
