Abstract
The authors of this paper conducted a brief organizational study of a government department in the United States. The authors mainly applied the organizational theory developed by W. Edwards Deming (1992, 1993, 1994), and ideas on waste (Ivanov, 2011, 2021). Partly, the authors were interested in exploring if the old Deming-identified major management diseases, that Deming found in organizations 30 and 40 years ago, were still present in organizations today.
Key Words: Organizational Study, W. Edwards Deming, Leadership, Management, Waste in Organizations, Organizational Improvement
