Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The authors, consulting specialists in turnarounds, have written a thorough work on how to keep a troubled company afloat. The authors dissect business operations, illustrating how monies can be recouped or saved and how hidden and forgotten assets can be made liquid. Throughout, the emphasis is on cash-how to get it, how to save it, how to keep from spending it unnecessarily. The authors encourage beseiged businesspeople to use their current hardships to their advantage. Offering a no-nonsense, hit-the-ground-running approach, Shuchman and White provide a utilitarian view of crisis management. With information that ranges from managing payables and receivables to reducing overhead and selling the business or going through bankruptcy proceedings, this book is a sound staff on which those who are trying to save a business can lean. Highly recommended for all libraries.
