Amy Zuckerman, an international marketing consultant and long-time reporter on ISO 9000 matters, shows you that pursuing quality (whether through ISO 9000 or other means) does not have to mean extraordinary expenditures. By following her impartial and intelligent guidance, your company will be able to do the proper up-front organization that ISO 9000 requires - and thus control its own ISO 9000 destiny.
