Abstract

Although Quality Circles have existed for over twenty years, they are presently enjoying the greatest level of interest since their advent. Today, the nature of work in America is changing rapidly. American workers are demanding more voice in matters relevant to their work and many managers are realizing the overall value of multi-level participative management. Workers are often asked to share their observations with team leaders, and supervisors are seeking new techniques for increasing the efficiency and profitability of the work place.
