Corporate Communications In Restructuring Phases (PDF)

This book enables managers in communication, operations and HR to communicate professionally in corporate restructurings. Cost-cutting, downsizing or the closing of entire sites are not only operational challenges, but also require intelligent communication. Otherwise, long-term effects such as a damaged reputation can outweigh any short-term savings achieved.

This book is a machine translation of the original German 1st edition Unternehmenskommunikation in Restrukturierungsphasen by Ulrich Gartner, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature, in 2020.The translation was done via DeepL.com. Subsequent human revision was focused on content, so that the language style may differ from that of a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
