Dessa forma, o objetivo geral do trabalho foi compreender as contribuições da auditoria interna como ferramenta de apoio para à gestão empresarial. A metodologia utilizada no presente trabalho compreendeu em uma Revisão Bibliográfica sobre o tema proposto, no qual essa foi dividida em três capítulos: primeiro se explicou a evolução, definição e tipos da auditoria contábil, em seguida se descreveu os procedimentos da auditoria interna nas empresas, por fim se caracterizou as contribuições da auditoria interna para à gestão empresarial. Nos tempos modernos a auditoria passou a ser uma ferramenta de suma importância que deve ser usada pela governança empresarial como um instrumento de controle. Sendo assim, a implantação de uma auditoria interna contribui para que a organização possa identificar erros ou fraudes reduzindo o risco financeiro e operacional. Por meio dos relatórios que são elaborados pela auditoria é que os administradores passam a ter informações tempestivas, integras e que sejam mais confiáveis para o processo decisório.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90855476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop a novel method of using average and standard deviation charts ( charts), which are based on the theory of statistical process control, to properly assess every course’s teaching evaluation rating. Through an application of teaching performance assessment at a management school, this research demonstrates a useful contribution to enhancing the practice of teaching and teaching performance assessment: Using charts’ three-sigma limits (which are established based on a school’s historical teaching evaluation data) as robust performance assessment standards, this method can provide a reliable assessment result on every course’s teaching evaluation rating; such assessment is useful for helping teachers and administrators reliably identify the low-performance courses in each semester for making timely improvements.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"145 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46891812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These institutions are geared to support and encourage the development of new-generation entrepreneurs in India who have the potential to create global competitive businesses. However, achieving the right resource balance is critical for these firms. As a result, a set of 14 relevant factors from the resource-based view (RBV) model were discovered and ranked using modified total interpretive structural modeling in order to reflect their impact on MSMEs' export performance. Together with the MICMAC methodology, this method establishes a hierarchical relationship between the factors. Our findings, which back up earlier studies, confirm the impact of these 14 essential components on RBV modeling adoption on MSMEs' export success. The components covered in the analysis have emerged as linkage elements, establishing a strong basis for MSMEs to internationalize competitively and become resilient in their approach by developing a deep strategic connection among themselves. Strategic direction, upper echelon orientation, financial capacity, and the external environment all have a significant impact on MSMEs' export performance. Finally, the implications for research and practise are examined in order to assist decision-makers in developing a long-term competitive edge for Indian firms.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"41 4","pages":"125 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41281754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an online questionnaire, data was collected from 219 FFR customers. A series of confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to demonstrate the construct validity of this study variables. This study proposed and examined three conceptual models. To test the hypotheses of the three models, structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software. This study shows that compliance with COVID-19 safety measures is a key determinant of customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions in the fast-food industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. More importantly, the results reveal that when simultaneously including service quality, perceived value, COVID-19 safety, and food quality as predictors of customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions, only COVID-19 safety and food quality are significant predictors. Managers, owners, and employees of FFRs need to comply with COVID-19 safety measures and improve food quality in order to enhance customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions toward their restaurants. This seminal study examines the determinants of fast-food customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study proposes and validates a new construct for COVID-19 safety in the FFRs.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"104 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45338616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors derived their research model through literature and the Baldrige framework, and tested the hypothesized research model through partial least squares – structural equation modeling using cross-sectional survey data. This study investigates how IT integrates with QM practices to affect organizational performance. The results show that IT makes a considerable difference to the function of QM by interacting with business operations and leadership, resulting in improved organizational performance. The implications of the results bring IT and other business functions together and shape an ecosystem of IT-enabled organizational frameworks in the Big Data era.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"3 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45568689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes that institutional forces also shape management standards designed to convey norms of effective management practice. Incomplete consensus among varied stakeholders involved in the standardization process fosters steadfast institutional pressure to push management standard scopes beyond their technical cores to include content with broader social appeal. This premise is explored using an influential management standard of the TQM movement—the criteria developed in conjunction with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Analysis of discourse appearing in the series of Baldrige criteria booklets published since 1988 suggest that the scope of the management standard reflected by the Baldrige framework, core values, and criteria requirements has expanded to become more socially inclusive over time. Tensions created by management standards aimed at facilitating both legitimate appearance and technical improvement are subsequently discussed.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"18 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46286052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five basic requirements: water, soil, fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides, together with six agricultural practices: organic farming (OF), agroecology (AE), conservation agriculture (CA), genetically-modified varieties (GMV), intensified agriculture (IA), and climate smart agriculture (CSA) were correlated, assessed, and prioritized. HOQ concluded that water and soil are essential for the development of a crop, whereas the need of agrochemicals was less noticeable because they could be substituted by the use of sustainable practices. OF and AE resulted more convenient because they use sustainable methods to manage a crop. The efficacy of CA and GMV to face VWC was limited by factors like the weather conditions of the site, the type of crop, and costs. IA and CSA were satisfactory when financing for the development is available. The synergy observed among OF, AE, and CA would ease transition and/or their simultaneous adoption; it would improve sustainability, productivity, and profitability for the farmer as long as the needs of the region, management of resources, and interested parties are taken into account.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"34 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42202119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the Baldrige Award core values and concepts as a framework for analysis, since they embody many of the shared concepts of these domains. We also use stakeholder theory as the underlying theory for this analysis. This study takes a novel, interdisciplinary approach and argues that the feminist perspective to stakeholder theory offers new perspectives for both fields. The feminist perspective is missing from the quality management and operations management literatures, and it is only recently emerging in the corporate social responsibility field. This study contributes to the literature by identifying gaps in our understanding of the relational perspectives embedded in the feminist ethics of care within the contexts of quality management and corporate social responsibility and offers a new lens through which quality management and corporate social responsibility implementations can be viewed. It also points out areas of research where opportunities for the development of expanded frameworks for these implementations exist.","PeriodicalId":38208,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"51 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41799728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
