A national quality award is usually a country’s most prestigious award for enterprises (private or public) in recognition of business excellence and quality management. The framework is usually an integrated performance/result-based approach translated into working guidelines called a performance excellence framework (with operating criteria and core values). Such awards recognize organizations, enterprises, or operating units with a unique mission and objectives. Award systems are designed primarily to serve national interests by improving competitiveness or enabling sustainable economic growth.
