A Virtual Team at T.A. Stearns (2)
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing process and quality improvement among T.A. Stearns’ offsite programmers and what the company should do about it. A member of a group of four programmers has developed a technique that increased the group’s efficiency to the point of needing only three programmers, rather than four. The paper recommends that Stearns move the developer of the technique to subsequent groups to seek out similar efficiency-enhancing measures, allowing Stearns to benefit from the original group’s gain in productivity without penalizing the developer of the method allowing the group’s improvement in productivity and quality. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

A Vision of the Workplace in 2006
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing how management, motivation, employee goals and changing behaviors might be expected to be manifest in 2006. Conditions in 2006 hopefully are such that we finally have adopted the best of each approach. Many organizations claimed in the 1980s and early 1990s that TQM could not possibly work, because they had been unable to implement it themselves. With 20 years of practice behind them, US organizations will have better chances of taking the best of both and then integrating them for maximum effect. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
