Case Studies on Turnaround Strategy by Kumar Satyaki Ray,Arindam Mukherjee Pdf

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.

Case Studies in Strategic Management by Gunther Friedl,Andreas Biagosch Pdf

Most business schools use case studies in their courses. However, these are typically based on past cases and assigned to students to solve. This book describes a new approach for teaching with case studies, which was developed and applied successfully at TUM School of Management. In this approach, student teams write and solve their own case study on a topic concerning current and future businesses. A case can thus be on their own startup or a strategic decision of existing companies. During the course, the students receive intensive coaching while selecting and developing the case topic by the course advisors as well as feedback by industry experts and executives for whom the case is actually a burning question. The authors present 17 cases covering strategic questions for startups and technology companies such as Deutsche Post, BMW, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Stadtwerke München, Fielmann, adidas, Siemens, Caribou Biosciences, eon, Airbus, Unicredit and UBS.

Indian Business Case Studies Volume VI by S. B. Mathur 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 importantpedagogical 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 oronline lecture sessions for the faculty and students of business management.

Enduring Myths That Inhibit School Turnaround by Coby V. Meyers,Marlene J. Darwin Pdf

The concept of school turnaround—rapidly improving schools and increasing student achievement outcomes in a short period of time—has become politicized despite the relative newness of the idea. Unprecedented funding levels for school improvement combined with few examples of schools substantially increasing student achievement outcomes has resulted in doubt about whether or not turnaround is achievable. Skeptics have enumerated a number of reasons to abandon school turnaround at this early juncture. This book is the first in a new series on school turnaround and reform intended to spur ongoing dialogue among and between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners on improving the lowest-performing schools and the systems in which they operate. The “turnaround challenge” remains salient regardless of what we call it. We must improve the nation’s lowest-performing schools for many moral, social, and economic reasons. In this first book, education researchers and scholars have identified a number of myths that have inhibited our ability to successfully turn schools around. Our intention is not to suggest that if these myths are addressed school turnaround will always be achieved. Business and other literatures outside of education make it clear that turnaround is, at best, difficult work. However, for a number of reasons, we in education have developed policies and practices that are often antithetical to turnaround. Indeed, we are making already challenging work harder. The myths identified in this book suggest that we still struggle to define or understand what we mean by turnaround or how best, or even adequately, measure whether it has been achieved. Moreover, it is clear that there are a number of factors limiting how effectively we structure and support low-performing schools both systemically and locally. And we have done a rather poor job of effectively leveraging human resources to raise student achievement and improve organizational outcomes. We anticipate this book having wide appeal for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in consideration of how to support these schools taking into account context, root causes of low-performance, and the complex work to ensure their opportunity to be successful. Too frequently we have expected these schools to turn themselves around while failing to assist them with the vision and supports to realize meaningful, lasting organizational change. The myths identified and debunked in this book potentially illustrate a way forward.
