The current study explores the relationshi between ISO 9000 certification and financial performance. Most research in this area has been limited, but also have been largely contradictory. In an attempt to reconcile t hese conflicting results, a multivariate, repeated measures research design was utilized. Our results indicate that ISO 9000 certification has a very limited impact on financial performance, as measured by return on assets, however this effect dissipates quickly over time
