Eight years ago, the production management department ofthe WHU
launched the industry competition, Best Factory / Industrial
Excellence Award' jointly with the media partner Wirtschaftswoche
in Germany. Two years earlier, the competition had been initiated
successfully by INSEAD faculty in France. Over the years, the joint
research team experienced first-hand that application of Management
Quality was a key driver ofcontinuous improvement along the firm's
core business proc esses. Moreover, those companies that exhibited
the highest improvement rates achieved mostly the best business
results (compared to their industry bench marks). Andreas Enders
accompanied us for five rounds of the competition as program
manager for the German competition. His contributions - among
others the launch ofour web site www. beste-fabrik. de - are
greatly acknowledged by the academic advisory team. The fmdings
ofthe industry competition greatly influenced this thesis on Man
agement Competence. Initially, the main research question though
was to provide a theoretic foundation and an empirical test for the
seven-factor Management Quality model (as defined in our recent
book on Industrial Excellence). Manage ment Quality consists of
strategy formulation and deployment combined with delegation of
tasks to workers and their participation. In addition, measurement,
integration, communication and training complement the main levers.
While there exist numerous studies on superior business performance
and key success factors, there are few sound empirical studies
available to date on operational performance and sustained business
success."
