Deming joined the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University in 1988. In 1990, during his last year, he founded the W. Edwards Deming Center for Quality, Productivity, and Competitiveness at Columbia Business School to promote operational excellence in business through the development of research, best practices and strategic planning.
In 1990, Marshall Industries (NYSE:MI, 1984–1999) CEO Robert Rodin trained with the then 90-year-old Deming and his colleague Nida Backaitis. Marshall Industries' dramatic transformation and growth from $400 million to $1.8 billion in sales was chronicled in Deming's last book "The New Economics", a Harvard Case Study, and Rodin's book, "Free, Perfect and Now".
Senge is the author of the widely acclaimed The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of The Learning Organization (1990).

他的變異（variation）觀為Shewhart-Deming學派中的主角，所以在1990年元月21日的講義中，列舉以下四條為其重點：（講義只 列條文，條文底下為作者之看法。）

還有Dr. Deming 在 1990.4.15給他的感謝Yoshida寄給他的論文：
Yoshida, K. 1989. Deming management philosophy: Does it work in the US as well as in Japan? Columbia Journal of World Business (Fall): 10-17.*
Dr. Deming 除贊美之外，用by the way 方式指出該論文有一處英文錯用；
