This book explores China’s global competitiveness in the building
of infrastructures with a particular interest in the resource-rich
African countries. The book begins with a comprehensive literature
review on total quality management (TQM) and national culture,
followed by reviews of the construction industries in China and
Nigeria. This provides better understanding of the linkages between
TQM, based on the International Organization for
Standardization’s ISO 9000 quality management systems (QMS), and
national culture, based on Emeritus Professor Geert Hofstede’s
national cultural dimensions. Premised on the culture-specificity
and bi-directionality relationships between TQM and national
culture, this book investigates the construction industries in
China and Nigeria including their strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats (SWOT) as well as an appraisal of their
historical and emerging relationships. In its conceptual approach,
this book presents different models in the lead up to its primary
theoretical contribution of a quality management assessment model
(QMAM) that was adopted during the study’s field work. The book
also presents relevant lessons relating to cross cultural
management and quality performance not only to the Nigerians but
also other foreign players in Nigeria’s construction industry.
