Abstract
With the economy booming at miraculous speed in China, building industry, particularly architecture, has grown rapidly. While Chinese architects are enjoying the opportunity to build their own monuments, they are also facing the challenges of international competition and economic cycle. The operation and management system of architectural firms should adjust to meet the challenges. Total Quality Management, a system created within Japanese corporations, is a solution to build the overall competitiveness of design and service firms. The thesis will introduce the basics of Total Quality Management, and apply it to current Chinese architecture practices as one possible solution to their demand for better management models.
