Prospect of developing quality circle in Bangladesh: a study of some selected industrial enterprises in Chittagong city

The quality circle developed through a process of integrating the problem-solving techniques with behavioral concept of participation and involvement and subsequently it spread all over of the world particularly in developing countries. But the available literatures indicate a highly mixed view on their application. This is due to the various hurdles faced in the very inception of its introduction. This article is an attempt to point out various constraints involved in its implementation and to highlight future prospects of this concept for Bangladesh. It is observed that the concept has received due attraction to the concerned authorities as it has not been applied in business and industrial enterprises in Bangladesh in general and the study area in particular. But there is sufficient scope for its introduction and effective use. Thus the constraints need to be identified in the way of its introduction and use for which concerned authorities, researchers and academicians can play a pioneering and an effective role in this regard.
