The book has effectively presented a string of cases which have put the turnaround strategy adopted by global companies under a searchlight. Organizational decline and turnaround management have emerged as important business management issues addressed and discussed all over the world. The companies often hit the pits of performance and growth and need to devise strategies that would effectively bail them out of that situation. In their attempt to emerge from a precarious situation, companies have adopted several measures. The book optimally covers a few of such turnaround strategies namely- Change in existing corporate strategy, Retrenchment of assets and people, Upgrading technology, Financial restructuring and Organizational change, through some exemplary case studies. The debacle that many companies have faced in their business proposition and procedure has often led to a growth trap and unprecedented loss for them; it is, then, that the management of such companies has embarked on sharp strategies for making a come back and turning around to retrace the growth path. It may happen that, in order to get excessive growth, organizations adopt a series of unrelated diversifications which, in turn, dilute their core business. They unknowingly fall back on business strategies that backfire and create financial and organizational distress. The book takes account of such a situation in some companies and how they have risen from the debris to get back on the racing track of sound financial health and growth. The case studies in this book also take stock of the pros and cons of the strategies that were embraced as turnaround measures by the companies, they showcase the sustainability of such strategies and their all round effectiveness. Thus the book stands out as good reading for future managers and strategists.

Surviving Transformation by Vincent P. Barabba Pdf

How did a major corporation manage to turn itself around while Wall Street and others continued to predict its slow death? The answer may surprise you, and it provides a model for corporate transformation for any company or government agency operating in a world of accelerating change. The company is General Motors, and this book tells how it was able to change the way important decisions were made, leading to resurgence in business across its many product lines. At the beginning of the 1990s, GM was perceived by nearly everyone as falling behind its competitors at an alarming rate. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, though, the company had come storming back with successful new automobiles and new business concepts that captured new markets, while simultaneously holding on to many of its existing customers. What GM did is not just the story of a single automaker, but rather a compelling insight into an approach for any business organization that is faced with the need for a true transformation. As many companies have discovered, efforts at transformation too often fail. GM's successful transformation illustrates the importance of management's ability to change its mindset and make the tough decisions that revitalize business with bold new products and business concepts. At the heart of successful transformation is the imagination, courage and leadership required to visualize the kind of company an organization wants to become and then work toward that goal. With the destination set and understood by those who will need to implement the changes, decision-makers find it less difficult to overcome impediments to achieving their goal while finding creative ways of doing what may seem impossible. The lessons from GMs turnaround can help any business organization change and keep pace with today's turbulent marketplace.

Business Leadership in Turbulent Times by Michael Lawrie,George Tsetsekos Pdf

Business Leadership in Turbulent Times presents an integrative methodology for decision-making that advances the notion that business success involves more than strategy. Strategy is an important facet but not the only determinant for success. Devising the strategy in the first place, deploying assets, following a financial model that supports the strategy, picking the right leaders, and company culture all play critical roles. In this book, the authors share an approach for businesses to thrive during good and bad times. Reflecting on their diverse experiences in business and academia, they answer questions such as: • Why do some firms become winners while others lose? • How do successful firms create and sustain value? • Why do firms that were once great suddenly fail? Most importantly, the authors provide a framework for senior executives to make decisions even during times of crisis. The book includes an appendix of insights and predictions about the impact of COVID-19 on business leadership. The crisis has implications on short- and long-term priorities, the pace of innovation, and the role of leaders.

The Implementation Challenge by David Hussey Pdf

The implementation of appropriate strategies remains one of the most difficult areas of management. Considerable thought, energy and resources is given over to devising a strategic plan; and it is to the fine detail of the plan that attention turns when things go wrong. The plan, rather than the implementation comes in for scrutiny, because it is less problematic to analyse. Perhaps this is because, whereas the plan can be devised under pollution-free, almost laboratory conditions, the working out of the plan takes place in the real world infected with real world variables. But the whole point of a strategy is that it will be implemented and implemented successfully. Much has been written on change management and transformational leadership all very relevant to strategy implementation but there are comparatively few books which look at the implementation process as a whole. The Implementation Challenge aims to link the numerous concepts and approaches to the subject but recognizes the impact on implementation of the organization as it lives and breathes. From the work of leading thinkers in the field of strategic management, David Hussey has selected contributions specifically focusing on the theme of implementation. Some of the work is to be found in Strategic Change; this, together with new material and four major case studies, makes The Implementation Challenge thoroughly up to date and coherent. It is intended to be thought provoking, and to give practical aid to those involved with achieving successful implementation of their organization s strategic plans and thinking.

Indian Business Case Studies Volume II by V P Pawar,Bhagyashree Kunte,Srinivas Tumuluri Pdf

It has been decades since many business schools outside India adopted the case study methodology for teaching almost all branches of management studies. This trend has been seen in India, too, where top management institutes have implemented the case study-based methodology as an important pedagogical tool in business education. The major issue in India, however, is a severe shortage of Indian case studies through which business schools can provide industry insights to students. This volume fills that gap. It has twenty Indian cases related to different aspects of business management. The cases cover some of the prominent disciplines of management like marketing, finance, human resource management, strategy management, operations management, accounting, and mergers and acquisitions. These cases best serve the purpose of adoption of 'case methodology' in classroom teaching or online lecture sessions for the faculty and students of business management.
