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. IJQI 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.
