Minor, neat yellow highlighting on 3 pages, else contents are clean . Dust jacket is almost as new. c. 19861. Second Printing. Hardcover. Black boards, bright gold lettering. BUSINESS. Explores the issue of Quality by revisiting Punctuation Inc. (Guaspari's fictional business example) , the leading producer of punctuation marks, and by having us meet The Boss, his Right-Hand Man, and his Left-Hand Man. Having established the concept of Quality as 'that which meets the customer's expectations, ' Guaspari shows how this idea can and must be carried through in every part of an organization - whether manufacturing, finance, marketing, human resources, engineering, etc. The author elucidates what is, perhaps, the key business issue: How Can I Make Quality a Reality? We learn that unless you're striving for higher quality in order to deliver more value to your customer - and only to deliver more value to your customer - you will fail. ; 8-1/2" Tall; 120 pages .
