This was a good introduction. Would have liked to read more about quality control within service organisations.

IT was ok...!

What a rip off you can buy it but it won't download or read on this reader. Buyer be very aware.

[Haytham Badawey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Excellent book for beginners. It's simple and to the point, it summarized so many concepts and ideas under one cover. Not recommended for professionals, only for beginners.

This book is excellent for beginners. It summarizes so much topics under one cover. It's not long, too. But it does not make you an expert.

As others have stated, this book is a good overview of quality practices. I would have really enjoyed reading some case studies.
