In that manner, research study was mainly based on quantitative data conducted to obtain empirical results in order to investigate the relationship between total quality management and strategic management. Understanding of obstacles that hinder the implementation of quality programs can help the organization to focus on future management activities, to maximize productivity and company performance.
