World State of Quality - 2018 results

The World State of Quality (WSQ) project aims to assess, analyze and rank the different countries performance in terms of Quality.

The 2018 WSQ edition is based on several indicators (16) that are grouped according to some of the most relevant Quality dimensions (in a total of 10) in order to get a final score to the 118 worldwide countries.

The WSQ represents a pioneering way to measure Quality in the different countries of the world. It can be an important input for several institutions to easy identify strengths and improvement areas for each country in terms of Quality.

The 2018 report is available at http://wsq.dps.uminho.pt/ (Report).

Paulo Sampaio and Catarina Cubo, from the Research Group on Quality and Organizational Excellence (RG-QOE), are members of the research team of this project.
