I agree with Conan in this blog. Why not have both. Quality is great but if you have quantity with it you’re better. If quantity wasn't important than you could just make your product once and be done with it. That won’t work. Audi AG doesn’t just make one Lamborghini and be don’t with it. I guessed is striving for both it would be best to start with quality and work towards quantity. This way you can maintain your reputation.

This article makes me truly believe in Quantity of Quality in that a person should not great qualities or features about themselves or a task but they should have a great quantity of tasks or skill and also at a high quality. Having both quality and quantity will separate one coworker from another. The higher a person’s quality and quantity the more lucrative they are to a business because not only can they perform a lot of task but they can also do it with high quality.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
A company can have a bunch of employees (quantity), that never exceed what is expected. They are there just for the paycheck and do not put forth any extra effort to make sure things are being done effectively and efficiently. A quality employee strives to be better. As Conon stated in the article, "People act like it's an either/or, I say have both". I completely agree. The entrepreneur, Steve Jobs wanted all "A" players working for him and nothing else. His philosophy was that there was no room for "B" or "C" players because it will drag the team down. Steve Jobs and Conon O'Brien share the same idea because they both believe in 'quantity of quality'.

Instant MBA: Conan O’Brien Says Businesses Should Have ‘Quantity of Quality’ I defiantly agree that one can achieve quantity while still maintain quality. A company just has to stay focus and set certain standards and not back down from them. A company’s main focus should not be more profit but to gain a profit while striving for better quality. In reality all companies preach about quality, but they fall short because they become a chain and there’s no one person to tell them how to keep those standards high. Company’s fail with providing quality because no one is holding them accountable to the standards set by the owner.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
What a novel idea, why not have both? This idea poses a much needed, but very attainable, challenge to companies. Strive to make the very best products while still increasing profits. For the past six years, I have worked as a recruiter for Southeastern. When admission criteria increased a few years ago, our staff undoubtedly knew our new student numbers would not be as strong as in years past. However, despite having to recruit better prepared students, we were told by our superiors our recruitment numbers would need to be level with those of previous years. Even though we were recruiting a higher 'quality' of students we were expected to recruit the same 'quantity' as before. While our staff didn't believe we would achieve both 'Q's', we were very surprised to find more students interested than before. When we raised our standards, more 'quality' students were interested in Southeastern. In the end, our new student numbers for that fall far surpassed those of the previous year! Increasing 'quality' (admission standards) yielded a higher 'quantity' of new students.

This article makes a great point! It would be great if a business could have both quantity and quality! Although this would be a great achivement for any business, it would also be quite difficult. As a business you want to make the most of your product while also making as many of the product that you can. When it comes to this it depends on the demand for the product, when you have a large demand the quality usually takes a fall because you want to get the product to your consumers as quick as possible. If a business could find a way to make the amount needed to meet the demand of consumers while still meeting the highest quality, then by all means make it happen!

What I got from this article was that you do not necessary need to limit yourself of something. You can have both quality and a quantity of products. Now, that of course means that you must have people on your team who do not mind putting in extra effort to have a variety of great products. However, I do not think that this idea is realistic for every company.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality' I agree with O'Brien it is best to have both depend on what you are dealing with in a sense. In his case, yes it is in his case it bester for hi to have both more shows for the price you are paying for to watch him. In another case when dealing with product it may be to costly to have a quality and quantity item it may cost you a lot of money that im sure a lot of businesses don't have and if they may thing about investing in something like that it may work or may not but its just depends. But yes if it would benefit you and work out in your best interest to have both by all means make sure you have both quantity of quality.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
This article expresses the idea of having the “2 Q’s”. Why not have both quantity and quality. I think it is definitely important to have quality over quantity if I had to choose, but having both is genius! It is common to believe that both cannot be obtained equally at the same time, but that should never be the case. If you have quality products, why would you not want to have more quantity of that quality product? If consumers feel a product is of high quality than they will want to buy more of that product, which would make having more quantity of that product necessary. On the contrary, if you have an abundance of lower quality products, what is the point? I have always strived for quality over quantity, but now my vision is to achieve both and have quantity of quality!

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
Conan O'Brien brings up a good point in the link of today. It is a nice idea to have a abundance of products with quality. The more quality in numbers the more profit there will be to obtain. I agree when businesses say that quality should never be sacrificed for quantity like I heard a Canes manager say on day. If they were to have more quality products,no saying they do not the profits would increase. To pursue this method of thinking one must throw the saying quality over quantity out the window and try to have quantity of quality.

Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
I agree with this article completely, but I also know that not all companies can acquire both quality and quantity. Take WalMart for example, they have quantity and lack quality; everyone knows it, but they still are successful. To go into something more serious, we could use car manufactures. Hyundai just has a recall on their 2013 Sonatas I believe. So many of them were made, but what is the point if they are having to invest more to fix something that could have made them have that quality they needed. Overall, I believe quality over quantity, but it just depends how you see it with the two examples. It would be nice to have quantity and quality though.

Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
O'Brien has a good point in this article. Quantity and quality should both be at the same par. Lets not forget about the two Qs. Quantity of quality makes alot of sense because many companies today say quality over quantity which makes you think that wait this isn't right we want both. If you have an abundance of products in a business quality is getting more and more important because people nowadays are looking for better quality and alot of quantity. So like O'Brien is saying quality plays as much as a role as quantity.

Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality'
Conan makes a valid argument in this article. Businesses should strive to offer both quantity and quality. But some businesses are not capable of offering both and still stay profitable. Discount stores like the Dollar General and Walmart offer quantity over quality, but it doesn't affect their customer base because they know what to expect from those stores. A firm should strive to over both, but do not hurt your customer base by increasing prices to increase quality, or you may lose them and the excess quantity of quality products will be wasted and the firm will lose money. Finding the balance between the two Q's is what every business should do, but it should always look for ways to improve quality without major price inflations.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity of Quality'
I agree completely! To maximize profit in a company you would like to find a balance between quantity and quality. Too much quantity could result in bad quality, but trying to make a product too perfect could result in not enough quantity. Finding the happy medium results in a great product. You always want to satisfy your customers, but you need both to do so! In my dance studio we like to try and perfect everything, but still continue learning other new techniques. The quality would be successfully perfecting certain dance moves and the quality would be to continue to learn other things to better your product.

INSTANT MBA: Conan O'Brien Says Businesses Should Have 'Quantity Of Quality' The article talks about the combination of both quality and quantity. It is often perceived that quality and quantity can not go hand in hand. Goods produced in bulk will be compromising in quality and vice-versa. But, the author in this article encourages the businesses to have both quantity as well as quality. It is absolutely possible to have both, and if one is able to do so, it is much more beneficial to the company.
