Chapter 1: Introduction

Background of the Study

Finessing quality into the specific area of media management requires skills of both counselor and bureaucrat. Taking the pulse of human interaction within a media organization involves the unique challenge of managing the oft autonomous, artful worker. The removal of management from daily operations can foster golden children or stars. Trenchwrork by management can mitigate these developments. Do all newspapers associations subscribe to a administration system? Lusting after profits is not management, but rather an example of high- level, single- issue decision-making. True managers—those supervisors who nurture quality--realize there are human persons involved in all processes. Aconclusion made any place in the system possibly sways all others. Recognizing subordinates as stakeholders allows for the injection of a new idea, the planting of a seed of creativity, or a mutational change potentially cultivating traits within an organization, which can aid in its survival within the competitive field of media. Encouraging technical writing skills, an incredulous nature, professional training, and a business acumen builds a better journalists.

The market currently characterises the media menu. Dollars are key to content. Competition is key to capitalism. If there is no competition, then the market dollars do not work fairly to determine content. Government is ascribed with balancing these forces. It is important to promote corporate responsibility while avoiding censorship. Traditionally TQM has applied to production or operations-based industries not to those who craft the creative word. Organized media provide services, such as broadcasting, or a tangible product, such as a newspaper or magazine The model shows that managers consume rhetoric of success about TQM, use that rhetoric to develop their TQM program, and then filter their experiences to present their own rhetoric of success. Consequently, the discourse on TQM evolves an overly hopeful view of TQM. The models demonstrate how individual actions and discourse shape TQM and fuel institutional forces (Zbaracki, 1998). Implementation of total quality management (TQM) or continuous improvement (CI) in U.S. industry has not contacted with initial expectations. The literature suggests a primary reason for this failure is lack of top management support (Krumwiede, 1998). Many programs fail because of preoccupation with technical issues and pay too little attention to the human factor. Recognizing that it is necessary to identify the behavioral skills needed to achieve and sustain successful change (Wellins, 1995). It is also revealed that the manner in which employees perceive the beneficial effects of TQM is of greater importance in predicting subsequent participation in TQM than is their initial participation. It is found that there is no relationship between employee organizational commitment and employee participation in TQM (Coyle-Shapiro, 1999).
