| Abstract: | The story is familiar, not only in the United States but increasingly elsewhere in the world. Sales suffer, costs grow, profits are squeezed. Blue-collar workers have been laid off. Senior mangement, feeling itself backed up against a financial wall, takes what it considers to be strategic action, a wake-up call for the organization. Amidst often genuine angst, layoffs in the overhead ranks are announced. The hard decision to "slash and burn" has been taken. |
