우리나라 環境汚染防止産業과 總體的 品質經營의 檢證 = A Test on Total Quality Management Practices in South Korea's Environmental Pollution Prevention Industry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We performed the two analyses of variance to determine the total quality management practices in the environmental pollution prevention industry by classifying the companies based on the size (large or medium/small) and on the type (manufacturing or service). A few previous studies reveal that in Korea the large companies are not the same as the medium/small companies in the TQM practices while the practices are not alterated by the type of companies whether manufacturing or service. But in the United States the TQM practices are not affected by the size of the company. Su, pp.rting the previous studies on the Korean industry our studies show that the TQM practices are significantly influenced by the company size, but not by the type of the company. Taking the results of our studies into consideration we would also like to propose a revision of examination criteria for National Quality Management Award with special emphasis given to medium/small companies.
