Book Description

Strained financial resources, demoralized executives, fearful employees, unhappy customers, tense bankers, angry investors, and competitors waiting to pounce--these are the classic challenges of turnarounds and troubled companies. "Taking Charge: Management Guide to Troubled Companies and Turnarounds" is a management survival guide that explores the dynamics of troubled companies from the perspective of a turnaround pro, providing a step-by-step plan for success that is punctuated with real-world examples. Topics include cash control, banking relationships, marketing risk control, leadership style, entrepreneurship, equity versus debt, and downsizing and reorganization--must reading not only for managers of troubled companies, but also for those in relatively stable companies anxious to avoid turnaround status.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...Continues where other books may stop, pointing out to those who are nearly bankrupt how to avoid bankruptcy... -- The Christian Science Monitor (Eastern edition) by Debra Ann Hatten

...Remains a useful, simple guide for the average businessperson to identify and avoid the traps that lead to bankruptcy. -- Turnarounds and Workouts by Regina Engel

Recommended for both the general and academic reader, community college level and above. -- Choice by A. Tavakoli

From the Publisher

This revealing book is a straightforward presentation of the causes of business failure and the strategies for steering a troubled company away from the threat of bankruptcy and liquidation. Five major financial traps that can lead to failure are identified, and each trap is illustrated with actual cases of well-known companies. Distressed companies are offered hope with examples of asset, liability, and corporate maneuvers that can help guide failing businesses to firmer ground.
