TY - JOUR A1 - Martínez Lorente, Ángel Rafael T1 - The effect of information technologies on TQM: an initial analysis Y1 - 2003 SN - 0925-5273 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/430 AB - Information Technology (IT) and Total Quality Management (TQM) have significantly impacted on most organizations and each has been widely researched. However, there is little well-founded empirical research on the relationship between the two, particularly on the way in which TQM is influenced by IT. This paper presents an investigation of such relationships through a survey of the largest industrial companies based in Spain. The data indicate that the most intensive users of IT perceive a bigger impact on their TQM dimensions.
