Abstract
By drawing on multi-case data, there is some evidence to suggest that TQM effectiveness can be viewed as a direct function of the controlling mechanisms that senior managers created prior to TQM implementation. More importantly, control tools of TQM were not used by non-managerial employees with which they could reduce variability or achieve uniformity, rather they were regarded as a weapon used by their managers against them.
