Abstract

Provides an evaluation of the "Leadership Through Quality" effort at Xerox. The assessment includes both negative and positive factors based on extensive interviews and surveys. Based on this assessment, a plan of action is determined and presented which was endorsed by senior management. Students will be asked to consider whether these mid-course corrections are appropriate. Allows students to see how long major changes take to occur and how much effort is involved to sustain and deepen change.
