In this companion to their upcoming PBS series, Dobyns and Crawford-Mason survey "continuous improvement" programs in America's private and public sectors. They note that organizations have shifted away "from a focus on technical aspects . . . to a focus on the complete interface between . . . a business and its customers." Their most interesting chapter compares the major U.S. quality gurus, including W. Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran, and profiles their Japanese disciples.

Several companies described (Motorola, Federal Express) have been treated elsewhere, and readers must wade through tedious recitations by top managers. However, a visit to Mount Edgecumbe High School in Alaska adds some perspective on the educational realm's quality movements. While general readers will gain a useful overview of the U.S. push to regain international competitiveness, there are few new revelations. An optional purchase for business
