Bierema, Laura L.
Innovative Higher Education, v20 n3 p145-69 Spr 1996
The philosophies of adult education and Total Quality Management (TQM) are compared, and it is proposed that their combination can result in a powerful educational tool. A case study illustrating the merging of TQM and adult education principles in a community college business curriculum is presented. Strategies for making adult learning a more collaborative, high-quality process are suggested. (MSE)
