| Abstract: | With the help of data obtained from interviews conducted with the various stakeholders in downsizing operations, individual reaction patterns are explored in the victims, the survivors (those staying with a company after layoffs), and the executioners (those responsible for the implementation of downsizing). Special emphasis is given to the reactions of the executives implementing the downsizing operation. The article ends with a number of practical recommendations about how to facilitate the downsizing process. It appears that downsizing can be a quite destructive process. |
