From the Back Cover

The insider's guide to managing successful turnarounds.

Every successful company has its own business model: a set of assumptions it can use to profitably deliver its products or services. But the realities behind those models can change, often violently, with lightning speed-placing the survival of the business at immediate risk. Financial Turnarounds shows financial professionals how to recognize key signs of trouble fast-and what to do about it.

Drawing on 20 in-depth case studies from companies of widely diverse sizes, industries, and financial circumstances, this book covers every aspect of corporate turnarounds from the standpoint of the financial executive. Learn how to help non-financial managers understand the implications of the numbers; identify early actions that can prevent the need for a full-fledged turnaround; choose financial and non-financial strategies with the greatest likelihood of success; build consensus for a turnaround plan amongst the firm's leaders, line managers, and outside funders; and, finally, learn how to execute your turnaround rapidly and effectively.

Presents detailed case studies from 20 of the most significant turnaround efforts of recent years.
