Synopsis

This book responds to the challenge of providing a comprehensive account of ""quality systems"" for private sector development, analyzing the diversity of institutions, linkages, and arrangements involved in quality systems, and identifying success factors in countries' quality strategies. It explains why quality and standards matter for export growth, for productivity, for industrial upgrading, and for diffusion of innovation, all central ingredients in improving economic growth and generating real gains in poverty reduction.
