In search of an optimal cost of quality: an integrated framework of operational efficiency and strategic effectiveness
Article Abstract:
A cost of quality (COQ) framework that emphasizes both operational efficiency and strategic effectiveness is proposed. In determining an optimal COQ level, the framework focuses on the role of benchmarking and the open system orientation. The principles of optimal control theory are applied in this context to offer an example of how an optimal level of quality could be obtained. Further, managerial implications and an integrated framework for implementation are given.

An examination of the antecedents of turnover propensity of engineers: an integrated model
Article Abstract:
Organizational commitment was found to have a direct and negative effect on engineers' intention to leave their organization. Other predictors ofintention to leave the organization such as role stressors, task characteristics, job involvement and job satisfaction were found to have an indirect effect on turnover intention. Job satisfaction was regarded as the most significant element which had a direct effect on organizational commitment

Computer-integrated manufacturing and competitive performance: moderating effects of organization-wide integration
Article Abstract:
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) users with a higher level of tool integration enjoy higher competitive performance when there is higher organizational integration. Integration in operational jobs, competitive criteria and customer-supplier relationships substantially moderate CIM's effect on competitive performance. However, despite the importance of task integration, it is not enough to competitively exploit CIM.
