Abstract: The research aims to develop a systemic approach to state and entrepreneurial management of product quality in developing countries. To this end, empirical evidence on quality management in developing countries in 2026 from regions such as Europe, Central Asia, East and South Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa is systematized and reinterpreted from the perspective of facilitating the transition to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Using correlation analysis, the authors quantitatively assessed the contribution of various legal and corporate responsibility measures to aligning national products of developing countries with international quality standards. The principal conclusion of this research is that the effectiveness of quality management measures varies significantly across domains (state and entrepreneurial governance) and across world regions. In light of this, the proposed systemic approach to product quality management is distinguished by the integrated implementation of measures in state and entrepreneurial governance and by a focus on those measures that yield the highest returns in terms of product quality. This approach ensures an optimal balance between legal and corporate responsibility in managing product quality.
