Creating Canada's future
Article Abstract:
The Canadian business sector has realized the positive effect of total quality on the nation's economy. Organizers of Canada Quality Month 1992 are aiming to generate public understanding of the vital connection between total quality and the nation's competitiveness in world markets. To facilitate such goal, three major strategies were developed which include the creation of a yearly Canadian Quality Fair, the use of media in ushering quality awareness to the public and the use of businesses and organizations in spreading quality messages.
