ISO 9000 and Creativity: Potential Advantages of Implementing ISO in Community Colleges
Alkeaid, Adel
College Student Journal, v41 n3 p657-667 Sep 2007
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the ISO 9000 standard and creativity. In this paper, the researcher tries to answer the following questions: Which learning theories best foster creative thought? Is creativity more behaviorist or constructivist? Where does ISO 9000 fit in the continuum from behaviorism to constructivism? What are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing ISO 9000 in community colleges? Does implementing ISO 9000 promote or limit creativity in community colleges? Can we implement ISO 9000 standards in community colleges while preserving some flexibility? (Contains 1 figure.)
