Both 'quality' and 'innovation' play vital roles for businesses to remain competitive. Broadly-speaking, quality aims for high and sustainable performance in existing business areas, while innovation aims for breakthrough. Both concepts are in some ways mutually dependent, yet mutually paradoxical. Published by Inderscience since 2009, the International Journal of Quality and Innovation serves as a multi-industry platform to address issues of quality and innovation facing businesses, especially how quality and innovation may be integrated into a coherent and powerful strategic package, and the dilemmas/tensions faced in pursuing quality and innovation concurrently.More important, International Journal of Quality and Innovation welcomes manuscript submissions and special issue proposals in areas including but not limited to:The strategies and integration of quality and innovationThe dilemmas and tensions of quality and innovationLeadership and management issues in achieving quality and innovationSocio-cultural issues in quality and innovationTraining and education issues in quality and innovationChange management in achieving quality and innovationRisk and cost of quality and innovationTechnologies, techniques and tools for quality and innovationPerformance indicators for quality and innovationQuality assurance systems and innovation frameworksInnovative solutions for quality challengesQuality platform for innovation and breakthroughThe relationship between quality and innovation and other disciplines such as knowledge management, total quality management and organisational learningNational policies for quality and innovationQuality and innovation through industry-university collaborationLearn more at www.inderscience.com/ijqi
