摘要
In developing CI capability, organisations need to move to a level of development in which, strategic goals are communicated and deployed and where improvement activity is guided by a process of monitoring and measurement against these strategic objectives. Policy deployment of this kind is more prevalent in Japanese examples and in a handful of eases in Western firms. Implementing it poses significant challenges and requires a different and additional toolkit of enabling resources. This paper reports an the experience of policy deployment in Japan and in Western enterprises and explores same of the implementation issues raised.
