Beyond Quality Circles: Self-Managing Teams.
Sims, Henry P., Jr.; Dean, James W., Jr.
Personnel, v62 n1 p25-32 Jan 1985
This article reviews the quality circle concept, shows why its characteristics appeal to American executives, and examines some of its limitations. It looks at self-managing teams and discusses the reasons that adoptions have been relatively few. It then shows what organizational conditions are necessary for quality circles to evolve into teams.
