BUSI 760 STRATEGIC QUALITY MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN INSTRUCTIONS Based upon the readings and research from the course, you will develop a Strategic Quality Management Implementation Plan for an organization of your choosing. You may choose a forprofit, non-profit (including a church), government, or educational organization. You are encouraged to review your own workplace, if appropriate. The Strategic Quality Management Implementation Plan (Section 3) is to be written as a document submitted to an executive team. Due to this, you may present the material in Section 3 in more of a report fashion rather than as an academic paper. The plan must be based on current research (including theory and practice) that is appropriate for the unique context of the organization selected. Think of the plan as a subset of the entire paper. In support of your plan, write a 10–15-page literature review that focuses on the basis for the quality management tool/technique selected. Include at least 15 scholarly peer-reviewed references. The literature review must be included as an appendix (Section 4 of the format below); it must not be included in Section 3. Note: Sections 1, 2, 4, and 5 must be in current APA format. The assignment must be submitted in compliance with the requirements found in the Strategic Quality Management Implementation Grading Rubric. The assignment must be a minimum of 20 pages (not including the title page, abstract, and reference page). Format 1. Title page – must include the following: a. Course number and name b. Paper title c. Student name d. Date submitted e. Respectfully submitted to: (instructor’s name) 2. Abstract 3. Strategic Quality Management Implementation Plan – must include the following: a.

Add/Drop Policy The full policy statement and procedures are published in the Policy Directory. Honor Code Liberty University comprises a network of students, Alumni, faculty, staff and supporters that together form a Christian community based upon the truth of the Bible. This truth defines our foundational principles, from our Doctrinal Statement to the Code of Honor. These principles irrevocably align Liberty University’s operational procedures with the long tradition of university culture, which remains distinctively Christian, designed to preserve and advance truth. Our desire is to create a safe, comfortable environment within our community of learning, and we extend our academic and spiritual resources to all of our students with the goal of fostering academic maturity, spiritual growth and character development. Communities are predicated on shared values and goals. The Code of Honor, an expression of the values from which our Doctrinal Statement was born, defines the fundamental principles by which our community exists. At the core of this code lie two essential concepts: a belief in the significance of all individuals, and a reliance on the existence of objective truth. While we acknowledge that some may disagree with various elements of the Code of Honor, we maintain the expectation that our students will commit to respect and uphold the Code while enrolled at Liberty University. Adherence to the principles and concepts established within facilitates the success of our students and strengthens the Liberty community. The Code of Honor can be viewed in its entirety at http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=19155. Schedule BUSI 760 Textbooks: Plenert, G. (2012).
