Abstract

In the recent times, there has been a remarked scarcity in the quality of academic staff, learning and teaching materials, in Nigerian Polytechnics. These factors are indication of defective management of Nigerian polytechnics. It is against this background that this paper examined a management tool - Total Quality Management (TQM). The paper concluded that TQM is an indispensable instrument for improved management of Nigerian polytechnics if properly implemented. The paper recommended that once TQM is employed, the polytechnic must be consistent with the principles.
