Getting ISO 9000 is no big deal. All it shows is that the organization has a quality assurance and control plan in place. Though it shows the effort, it really does not ensure that the organization will provide quality every time.

The AEA 2004 (Electronic Association) report halfway
down the article is most interesting -as is the
offhand remarl quoted quote by Peter Drucker . He
places the IIT at Bangalore and mistakenly says that
the strikes and lockout ridden AIIMS, Delhi si world's
top medical school.
However, it is interesting to note that this report
asks for issuance of Green Cards to foreign masters
and PhD grads from US univs -in tech fields --which
has been passed by US Senate Immigration Bill this
summer.
It interestingly notes that US college students do not
choose tech programs in large numbers because they
find them too tough! Ofcourse, you can't go around
party hopping and boozing to celebrate the youth on
Friday nights and weekends then: I am only talking
about average college grads --not the super brilliant
ones. The report also gives figures of foreign grads
in science and tech from US univs.
Interestingly it mentions Indian penchent for ISO-9000
certifications --which even high schools and petrol
pumps show off as labels of quality.
Also, the report mistakenly mentions that 58% of the
software firms certified by Carnegie Mellon Univ were
Indian --- perhaps they meant -those Indians who have
emigrated to US!!!
Hysteria helps build by adrenaline levels and a
mentality for fight or flight --so ability to come up
with radical solutions to stave off competition --no
wonder Americans have led the world for ages!! Thats
real pschology warfare and competitive spirit which
regularly makes USA the number ONE in competitiveness.
Any comments?
Umesh
PS: Some might be anguised by my remarks downgrading
the Indian challenge. The map in the report showing
jobs shifting to India is itself misleading --since it
is just the opposite of what is written in black and
white alongside -talk of hysetria!!
