Energy leader: Quality the key By MICHAEL CRAWFORD Reporter Managers of the future must learn to deal with the increased ag gressiveness of foreign businesses, said Thomas Murrin, president of the Energy and Advanced Technol ogy Group of Westinghouse. Murrin spoke to a management class Friday. “We must find ways to pool our talents and energies throughout our country in order to ward off the challenges of world competition that threatens our well-being as individ ual businesses, as industries and in deed as a strong and tree nation,” Murrin said. “For generations, Americans have taken for granted that our country enjoys a kind of divine dispensation or immunity from many of the prob lems and major failures which have af flicted other nations,” Murrin said. “As we entered the decade of the eighties, we found our country poised on the brink of a major in dustrial and economic crisis.” This crisis was partly due to the low emphasis on quality control and research and development funds, he said. Quality is the keystone to produc tivity improvement, market penetra tion, customer satisfaction and even tual profitability, he said. “The United States can no longer pretend to be an economic island,” lie said. “We have seen how a crisis in the Middle Fast can create finan- now compete with Americanim|« try perfectly, including our In market in the United States."
