In the context of the principles of total quality management (TQM), _____ means collaboration between managers and nonmanagers, across business functions, and between companies, customers, and suppliers .

Respuesta :

Answer:

Teamwork

Explanation:

In total quality management (TQM) teamwork refers basically to the same thing as  it does in any other circumstance. I.e. working together in order to achieve a higher common goal. Teamwork is essential in every management theory, but TQM has a slightly different approach.

TQM sees teamwork as a means of creating interdependent quality circles. This means that employees and management must learn to work together as a team and must learn to depend on each other's work. It is basically like a goalkeeper that relies on his/her defense to help them avoid the opponent team from making goals.
