Companies should be diligent in examining the relationship of product liability claims and effective quality assurance programs. A review of the literature suggests there are many writings about the mechanics of a product liability case, but very little hard evidence to suggest that companies are saving money because of implemented quality initiatives. While liability in this arena is usually borne by an injury that is due to a defect in either design, manufacturing, or marketing materials, suits are generally filed under three broad categories: negligence, breach of warranty, or strict tort liability. Properly implemented quality assurance initiatives will serve a company by tracking all aspects of the operation, from design to packaging, in order to determine where waste and defects a...

A wave of defective Chinese-manufactured products hit US shores in the past few years, creating a firestorm of bad publicity for the Chinese manufacturers and the US retailers of these products. This ongoing crisis coincides with a US state-level trend of enacting laws limiting the liability of sellers of defective products and shifting liability to the manufacturer. This note examines the intersection of this crisis and this trend by analyzing whether state laws limiting the liability of sellers of defective products offer adequate protection to consumers injured by defective Chinese-manufactured products. Guaranteeing consumers injured by defective Chinese-manufactured products a remedy is both a means to ensure justice in the case at hand and a means to prevent future injuries. Howev...

The key to turning this mess around is to incorporate a quality culture into the fabric of Chinese society - no easy task. Since Deng Xiaoping said "to get rich is glorious" there has been a sense of urgency in China. Its history is littered with windows of opportunity that open and close quickly. For manufacturers and local municipal governments that have invested, literally, in their success it often means taking shortcuts on quality. No one in China is sure how long anything will last - a situation that keeps many focused on getting rich quickly, at any cost. China must realize just how serious these quality problems are. China also better conclude that these safety and quality problems may be small from the perspective of the overall volume of goods shipped to America and abroad, bu...

This study examines the cause of the Melamine Scandal, a major food safety crisis that took place in China in 2008. Drawing upon game theory, it focuses on the interplay between two major stakeholders in the process of enforcement of food safety regulations-the regulatory agency of the government, and the public, which consumes manufactured or processed food products. The authors found that the Melamine Scandal was a symptom of malfunctioning of the mechanism of food safety controls in China. The reason for the lack of efficient regulations was that the compensation structure failed to provide the regulators enough incentive to perform their duty.

Sen. John McCain on Saturday said he would take a hard line on dangerous Chinese exports, promised to appoint more women to his administration and heaped praise on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in a town-hall meeting aimed at attracting the former Democratic presidential hopeful's primary supporters. The next toy that came from China that endangered the life of a child from the USA, that'd be the last toy that came in," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said in response to a question during the meeting.

As Vietnam emerges into world markets, Vietnamese organizations are facing the predicament of how to avoid the low-cost labor trap and move up the production value-chain by improving quality and productivity. Continuous improvement (CI) practices have proved fundamental to building and sustaining competitive advantage in other Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. If Vietnamese organizations are to pursue higher value-added activities, CI will be critical for them, too. Despite the tremendous interest in Vietnam from the international business community, little research on Vietnamese management practices has been done, particularly on the use of CI techniques. The language barrier, lack of reliable business data, and the culture of government and corporate secrecy in V...
