The United States and Mexico did not continue the close collaboration as during World War II; but, homeland defense (HLD)2 and homeland security (HLS)3 once again became top priorities for both governments in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.4 As such, on 23 March 2005, Canada, Mexico and the United States became partners via the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, demonstrating multi-lateral cooperation for the economic prosperity, freedom and the safety and well being of our people. 6 Hence, as two sovereign powers, the governments of the United States and Mexico have the authority to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or commerce with foreign nations and maintain control over their territories.7 In so doing, military operations are merel...

The purpose of this article is to compare quality management practices in the United States and Mexico. The survey instrument used was based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) criteria.

Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis show that there are differences between the critical success factors of quality management practices within the United States and Mexico. In both countries, general matters (social responsibility) and supplier quality were significant in explaining variability of quality results. More similarities in both countries were found in the effect of quality management practices on customer...
The literature indicates that managers of Mexican firms use an "authoritative" management style when compared to U.S. Firms which utilize a "consultative style". In this study, the management style for managers in Mexican firms in Mexico and comparable Mexican owned firms in the U.S. are compared using Likert's System 4 survey instrument. The results indicate a different finding from the literature in that managers' management style for Mexican firms in both locations is consultative.
Outsourcing of manufacturing to Mexico and China includes costs that are not always considered and benefits that are not always correctly quantified.

Using that model, the sensitivity of outsourcing costs to several variables was modeled and analyzed. Guidance is provided regarding factors to consider in an outsourcing decision.
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) criteria are used by many organizations throughout the world as a guide to enhancing the quality of manufactured goods and services. This study seeks to determine if these criteria are perceived to be of equal value to quality control managers in the countries of India, Mexico, and the United States. An empirical study of more than 500 firms was used to sample quality manager perceptions on quality management practices, based on the MBNQA criteria. The results of this comparative study reveal a number of similarities and differences in the perceptions of the value of nine different quality criteria constructs.
