Abstract:
Regulations and voluntary standards within the context of organizational design and mission as well as leadership in management for quality were discussed. Rules and regulations are closely associated with the structure and mission of the organization. Altering them may require fundamental redesign of organizational structure and purpose. Likewise, alterations in organizational design can change the need for rules and regulations. In addition, standards do not automatically yield quality. Rather, they define expected levels of performance from individuals, programs, and the organization. The senior management of organizations is responsible for exercising the leadership in managing for quality.
