Summary/Abstract: The content of all chapters of the present book contributes to the discussion about the shape of the aforementioned strategy in reference to normalized management systems. It should be noted that the authors of the present publication are aware of the correspondence between the standardization of products, processes and management systems. The authors focused on standards associated with management systems, because practice has shown that these standards can be very useful in the process of improving management systems in organizations and, consequently, contribute to its increased competitiveness. The authors, while discussing issues related to this area, have made an attempt to view an organization as a system, i.e. a set of interrelated elements which function as a whole. Special emphasis has been put on the normalized management systems which enjoy great popularity among organizations, especially in reference to the process of improving their operations. Therefore, separate chapters of the present book comprise considerations about various aspects of standards linked with good management practices in relation to: quality, environment, information security, food safety, occupational health and safety as well as social responsibility. Moreover, significant premises, methods and levels of the integration of these systems have been touched upon. Considerations included in the present book, according to its authors, are valuable in their cognitive and application aspects alike. The use of analyses, evaluations and recommendations included in this book can be a very useful tool for improving the implementation process and increasing the effectiveness of the discussed management systems in any production or service organization. The present handbook may also serve as a source of inspiration for conducting independent research for doctoral candidates in the frames of interdisciplinary doctoral studies within the scope of product and service quality. Furthermore, it can be used in order to support the didactic process of these studies /Jerzy Łańcucki/.
