  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography. The Open Access version of this book, available at www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.

  • 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.
