Management for Quality in High-Technology Enterprises explains how traditional \"hard\" management skills must be combined with new \"soft\" skills, why an expanding, global market necessitates an expanding, global mindset, and why a \"focus on customers\" must dominate all aspects of business.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Momentous external and internal changes to technology enterprises demand new management procedures. Externally, industries are moving toward globalization, increased mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and outsourcing.
