International Journal of Services Technology and Management (IJSTM), Vol. 8, No. 6, 2007

Abstract: In response to the need to identify and establish the strategic value of the processes covered by the Quality Standards (ISO 9001, EFQM) this work proposes a methodology that combines the Resource-Based View (RBV) with the 'process-based approach' that enables the key processes and their importance to quality system management to be identified. This methodology is applied to the hotel sector, which allows a comparison to be made with the criteria of the Q Standard of Spanish Tourism Quality and the proposal to be validated. In this respect; three types of processes have been identified: principal, complementary and support processes.
