HRM (human resource management system and c. TQM (total management system) Total quality management is considered to be an important management philosophy, which supports the organizations in their efforts to obtain satisfied customers. However traditional work practice and management attitudes do not conform to total quality management, which could cause a resistance towards an implementation of total quality management.
