Quality is generally understood as ‶fitness for use″ or ‶conforming to requirements″. However, a detailed understanding of quality concepts will indicate that it is not as simple as that. On the contrary, it is a concept with various facets and different applications in different contexts. A thorough understanding of it will yield great benefits. Already, the concept of quality has crept into our social life as ‶Quality Time″ and ‶Quality Life″, meaning the time or life spent in the most useful and enjoyable way, contributing to the wellness of individuals, society, and the surroundings. The implementation of Quality in Technology and Services will yield tremendous benefits, and a typical example is Japan, which grew from scratch to a developed nation after the Second World War by manufacturing quality products. It is quite justifiable to understand that if each one of us contributes to quality in whatever endeavour we pursue, we are contributing to the growth of our beloved great nation. It is heartening to note that there are already many Indian establishments that have bagged coveted international quality awards, indicating that we are progressing fast in the right direction in the quality arena. Essentially, with about thirty-six years of experience in the quality & reliability domain and its implementation as a project executive in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), I feel that every one of us should have a very good understanding of quality concepts from experts for our benefit. Dr. P. Sasikumar, a practicing professional and respected expert in the area of Quality and Reliability in ISRO, who has already authored many good books in different fields, has taken the appropriate effort to help us understand and authored this book on Quality Concepts. In a simple and lucid manner, the author has explained the definitions, evolution of quality, ‶Quality Gurus″ benefits of quality & reliability, and the concepts for implementation in our day-to-day life. Appreciably, the author avoids abstract explanations but makes every reader understand even complex concepts tangibly through day-to-day life examples so that readers can practice these concepts in their professional and domestic lives. A useful book for all, including students and start-up entrepreneurs.

This book is the outcome of the efforts of many professionals working both in academia and industry who have contributed to the proceedings of the International Conference on Quality Management Practices for Organizational Excellence . Organizational Excellence is a final product composed of two basic elements alloyed prudently by the members/stakeholders of an organization. These two basic elements are Strategy and Culture . When we talk of quality management practices, we have to pursue quality as a strategy and also quality as a culture . Quality as strategy is a conscious and deliberate search for a plan of action that will develop an organization's distinctive competence and compound it. Quality as culture is the amalgamation of behavior patterns of all the stakeholders in terms of beliefs, values, attitudes etc. In other words, quality management is the epicenter of the competitive organizations of the future in which strategy is the scientific pursuits and culture is the artistic artifacts. Numerous authors have put forth their logical thoughts, have articulated their concepts and have validated their hypothesis relating to quality management. The papers, which have found place in this book aim at creating values of quality management practices.

The author of this thought provoking addition to Gower's Transformation and Innovation Series has worked as a management consultant in the Arab Middle East for 25 years. In Islamic Values and Management Practices she acknowledges that businesses and other organizations in the region face urgent concerns in relation to quality and transformation, but argues that these issues might be more appropriately addressed by the application of an Islamic Management Model, rather than the 'Western' one hitherto applied. Over time, a set of management systems based on Islamic values has been developed by the author. These systems recognise the need to build human organizations, socially and politically as well as commercially, and also the recognition that for Muslims, justice is the ultimate value, bringing balance between the individual's soul and spirit on the one hand, and the organization's soul and spirit on the other. This Islamic management model stresses that effectiveness is an outcome of operating efficiently and at the same time unifying the organization's objectives with those of its employees and wider society, and ensuring that at the strategic level the long view is always maintained. Recounting her own personal and business journey, Maqbouleh Hammoudeh presents the outcomes of research that has tested the application of the Islamic Management Model and its ability to deliver the desired quality and transformation outcomes in a major civic or profit making organization. At a time when many practitioners and business educators are seeking new management approaches, this revealing case study sheds light on the evolution of a contemporary theory of management for the Muslim World.
