Myths in corporate transformation and turnaround - by Dr. Mike Teng

Dr. Mike Teng placed an interesting post that is well worth reading on his blog Corporate Turnaround titled Myths in Corporate Transformation and Turnaround.

These myths are:

Myth 1: Not vulnerable to financial crisis.

Myth 2: Nothing has gone wrong (self-denial).

Myth 3: Primary role of a turnaround manager is to cut cost to the bone.

Myth 4: It is a safe route to success doing business in Asia.

Myth 5: Textbook knowledge will suffice in helping executives manage a corporate turnaround situation.

Myth 6: “Firing shall continue till morale improves.”

Myth 7: Common sense alone will suffice.
