A Comparative Analysis of Total Quality Management Practices in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Developing Countries and Developed Countries

This thesis explores the comparative analysis of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices in the pharmaceutical industry across developing and developed countries. It investigates the differences and similarities in the implementation of TQM principles, focusing on critical areas such as quality assurance, regulatory compliance, supply chain management, and continuous improvement. The study examines how socioeconomic factors, infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and resource availability impact TQM adoption in these regions. By analyzing case studies and industry data, the research aims to identify best practices and propose actionable strategies for improving quality management systems, ensuring global consistency in pharmaceutical standards, and enhancing patient safety and product reliability across diverse markets.
