This review is from: Corporate Turnarounds (Paperback)

Excellent reading. Chanda's ability to draw lessons from corporate happenings around us makes this book different from the usual management tomes. His simple writing style coupled with lucid thinking makes it not only highly readable but a hands on guide to turn around corporates. He achieves what he sets out to do - tell you how creative thinking can make any asset yield much more than its face value. If your asset (company) is in or heading towards the dumps, order this book and be saved.

Corporate Turnarounds provides a valuable roadmap of business strategies for companies faced with sudden discontinuities. As a strategic consultant I have found Mr. Chanda's insights into struggling enterprises illuminating and have recommended the book to a number of my clients.
