CHOICE Review

Willig, editor of the Total Quality Environmental Management journal, has compiled a series of articles examining the impact of total quality management (TQM) programs in the development and implementation of a contemporary business environmental agenda. The text is divided into six sections: Achieving Worldwide Competitive Advantage, Understanding Total Quality Management, Organizing and Integrating Environmental Quality Management Beyond Compliance, Benchmarking and Measuring for Success, Auditing for Environmental Total Quality, and Manufacturing and Information Technology for TQEM in the Nineties. Written by academics, business leaders, and professional consultants, the papers explore, from accounting to regulatory compliance and organizational motivation, the commitment of American businesses to a national and international managerial environmental priority. Each article begins with a brief introduction to the concepts to be presented and a biographical sketch of the author. Despite a readable writing style, the commentaries assume a depth of knowledge about the subject matter. Excellent use is made of graphics and tabulations. References, where applicable, conclude the presentation. Advanced undergraduate through professional. S. R. Kahn; University of Cincinnati
