Finding and implementing best practices in higher education
Article Abstract:
Colleges planning to implement Total Quality Management can use the traditional industry benchmarking model to identify the best practices for each course. This includes the identification of the results expected from a course and the processes used to attain them, the analysis and comparison of processes among colleges and the merging of the best practices to form the benchmark. However, a random telephone survey of 26 business school administrators revealed that 21 of them considered benchmarking difficult to carry out.
