Corporate Recovery (Penguin education) - Softcover

Do you feel as if your company is like a rowboat taking on water and that it will soon submerge unless some quick reparative actions are taken? Then, this is the book for you.

Written by experts in the field, it describes what must be done and how to do it. Identifying several critical ingredients for successful corporate recovery, it is specifically directed at turnaround situations. The authors believe, however, that turnaround management is really every day management; therefore, the tenets of this book also have broader application. Not only of great value to managers interested in rapid improvement, this book will be of interest to chief executives and management teams of underperforming businesses. Venture capitalists, bankers, and investors involved with troubled companies will also find this book invaluable.
