largest Schools in Cardiff University and ranked 4th in research excellence in the UK in the last government assessment exercise in 2008. Research excellence is a priority for the School, in terms of teaching, influencing and making a difference beyond academia. The School is committed to developing internal structures that will support and enhance the development of internationally excellent research in the School, and to delivering a vibrant and exciting research environment. All staff on teaching and research contracts are eligible for an Individual Research Budget of up to £3,000 a year and a further £50,000 is available to staff across the School through a range of research development and support schemes.

This booklet sets out the range of support available to you as a member of staff, to allow you to develop your research programme and academic career to ensure the School continues to perform as an internationally excellent research centre. Throughout this document we have set out activities that both support research and promote research through School structures and external opportunities. We hope that you find the information and resources available helpful. If you have any comments, questions or thoughts on how we can develop these services and opportunities, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to working with you!

  • 22-24 August, 2018 Cardiff University, Wales, UK Conference Program
    QMOD 21st International Conference on Quality and Service Sciences Conference Program 22-24 August, 2018 Cardiff University, Wales, UK 21st QMOD-ICQSS Conference The Quality Movement - where are we going? Past, Present, and Future Su Mi Dahlgaard-Park Dr. Professor Lund University Jens J. Dahlgaard Dr. Professor Linköping University The theme of the QMOD2018 conference invites participants to reflect on the evolution of total quality management (TQM) as the most widespread quality management approach during the last 30 years. Even though quality management approaches have been recognised and utilised by industry since the 1930s, the ‘arrival of TQM’ in the last part of the 1980s opened a new era in the quality movement. However, during the first 17 years of the new millennium, the term TQM seems to have lost its attractiveness in the industrialised parts of the world, and instead new terms such as Business Excellence, Organisational Excellence, Operational Excellence, Six Sigma, and Lean seem on the surface to have overtaken the leading position even though the contents of these new terms can and should be understood within the framework of TQM. Many practitioners perceive that these new terminologies are new management approaches which have replaced TQM and hence have little to do with quality approaches. Parallel with these tendencies, we can observe that the interest for TQM is growing in eastern European, some Asian countries (for example China) as well as in many new developing countries. There are, in those countries, numerous dynamic activities for learning, dissemination, promoting and implementing TQM. Also there is right now a growing interest to analyse and discuss the suitability of existing TQM frameworks in the 4th industrial revolution which will affect business environments – internal as well as external environments – including our living environments.
