| Abstract: Total Quality Management (TQM) has to incorporate sustainability in order to maintain and strengthen an organization's competitiveness and productivity. Both TQM and the concept of sustainability are relevant to internal auditing. This article draws from research in environmental resources management to indicate how sustainability might be integrated into an organization's mission statement and strategic planning in order to set a framework for long-term success. The authors propose that organizations undertake "micro-socio-sustainable" quality management initiatives that promote economic, social, and environmental well being. One thing remains clear about the success or failure of any TQM initiative: employee involvement and empowerment remain "the soul" of quality management. Organizations must support and train their employees, trust and respect them, and involve and empower them to practice what they have been taught and to learn from within and elsewhere. Employees will be motivated not only to develop better products and services, but also to be more responsive, adaptive, innovative, efficient, and valuable. |

| Abstract: Today it can be said that the revenues of sports are no longer solely dependent on fans purchasing tickets, hot dogs, and beer at sporting events. Revenue generation of teams, leagues, and organizations has become the development of complex strategic plans to enable the entity to maximize opportunities. The relative playing strength of a franchise depends today on the financial strength of the team and ownership. |

| Abstract: Brian Dollery of the University of New England and Joe Wallis of the American University of Sharjah provide a detailed review of past and emerging theories surrounding the voluntary sector. The authors take a methodical approach to summarizing and critiquing arguments for why the voluntary sector exists, how the voluntary sector can operate differently yet as a supplement to the public and private sectors, how government can better enlist the aid of the voluntary sector, and under what circumstances the voluntary sector fails. |
