An Immigrant's Gift:
The Life of Quality Pioneer
Joseph M. Juran
For more than 70 years, the teachings and writings of J.M. Juran have had a profound impact on the quality of the products we buy and use everyday. His pioneering work in "quality" is heralded all around the world, and yet the story of this very private individual has remained unknown, until now. This biographic portrait tells the lyrical story of a humble immigrant who overcame dire poverty and bitterness against the world, and went on to make a profound and lasting impact on business and society.
Through candid interviews with Juran, family members and industry notables such as Peter Drucker, Steve Jobs and Robert Galvin of Motorola, we understand the events that guided this immigrant's journey through life. And we discover why late in life, Juran focused his all his efforts and resources to repaying a debt to society. An Immigrant's Gift dramatizes how "quality" impacts each of us, and why it has become so critically important to our everyday lives. This engaging program also leaves us with lasting lessons in perseverance, self-reliance and the value of unwavering ethics.
