DQ 2 Quality Awards and Standards (graded) The authors of our text talk about the Baldrige Award throughout their book. In previous versions, they even designed their text around this award.

So let's do some research. Put on your investigative hats and see what you can find about the Deming Prize. You can use the Internet or any other sources you have available. How do you see the Deming Prize criteria fitting into TQM? How does the Deming Prize compare to the Baldrige Award? What are the differences and similarities between the Deming Prize and the Baldrige Award? GSCM326 Week 3 Discussion DQ1 & DQ 2 Latest 2016 Jan.
