The Integrative Relationship Between Total Quality Management And Cost Management Techniques In Libyan Industrial Companies

The research relies on the use of inductive and deductive methodology, and both approaches are considered. In addition, the research used a structured questionnaire to survey a different sample unit from the entire investigation study. The study community consists of the financial management accountant, the director of marketing department, the managers of the quality control offices and the general managers of all the Libyan industrial companies. The research finding shows a lack of applied and field research on the process of linking TQM and cost management techniques to improve the level of performance. This research is expected to contribute to clarifying the complementary importance of Libyan industrial companies between TQM and cost management techniques
