![]() ![]() Management trends have grown and died at an increasingly rapid rate throughout the decade of the 1990s. ![]() Reengineering is a top down, vision driven effort that requires continuous senior management participation and support, while TQM once implemented into a company’s processes can work day and day out without much attention from management. ![]() Reengineering moves a company where they need to be very quickly usually by radical change, whereas TQM moves a company in the same direction more slowly, usually with incremental adjustments. While Reengineering and Total Quality Management focus on processes, customers and higher efficiency, there are also differences between them. “Reengineering and Total Quality Management (TQM) are neither identical nor in conflict they are complimentary” (Hammer ” Champy 239). ![]()

![]() ![]() Delois, as her family called Mildred, was only four months old when they, like thousands of other southern African American families, boarded a segregated train bound for the North. Yet Taylor ’s parents, Wilbert and Deletha, wanted their daughters to grow up in a less racist society. ![]() His large extended family thrived despite the racism they encountered. Their paternal great-grandfather, the son of a white Alabama plantation owner and a slave woman, had become a successful farmer in Mississippi. Taylor was born at home on Septemin Jackson, Mississippi, where she joined her older sister Wilma. In doing so, her fiction defied the “political correctness ” of the 1990s. Since 1977, Taylor ’s fiction continued to portray the effects of racism counterbalanced with courage and love. In 1977, Taylor won the Newbery Medal, the most prestigious award in children ’s literature, for her historical novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Most of her works, which are based on her own family history, revolve around the close-knit Logan family, an African American family that rises above the indignities of racism through courage and love. Mildred Delois Taylor is a critically acclaimed author of children ’s novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know, and frankly, who the fuck cares? Maybe I am biased because I truly believe this author is a witty, sarcastic, and wonderful writer. ![]() Maybe it really is just as good as I think it is. Maybe I love it so much I'm blind to the fact that it is a little youngish. It's not often a person can look back at a book they read in middle school and say they still love it and it's almost just as good as they remember. ![]() But, along with those youngish nostalgic ramblings, I did want to say why I loved-and still love-this series. They'd find me.Īlright so, it appears that everyone wanted to like my pre-review of fangirlish relations to when I was younger.so I don't see a large point in writing a long-winded review when it seems everyone has mostly stopped by and saw all they wanted to see. But even on the ninth floor of Bellevue-which is where they lock up the crazy people in New York-I probably wouldn't be safe from the ghosts. ![]() |
