The radical restructuring of organizations can have momentous
effects and not all of them are good. In fact, many are actually
bad and may cause serious harm. How management can remedy these
ill effects systematically and restore stability to their
traumatized organizations is the theme of Dr. Geisler's
compelling new book. How do we clean up the mess from poorly
conceived, badly implemented, and ultimately unsuccessful
restructurings? How can managers, who have been caught up in
these changes and who are as disrupted by them as anyone, regain
their own equilibrium and help the healing and reconstructive
process take hold? Geisler's answers to these questions are
essential reading for corporate executives in all types of
organizations (public and private both), and for academics and
students.

Dr. Geisler lists the problems associated with radical change and
describes the futility of total corporate transformations in
general. In addition, he develops a staged process by which
managers can counteract the side effects of radical change
programs. By showing that the beneficial effects of radical
corporate change are usually transient, Dr. Geisler's process is
a key ingredient in any effort designed for the long-term
survival of the firm and the preservation of its strategic goals
and methods. Thus, not only does Geisler provide a sound,
well-reasoned criticism of corporate restructuring, but he offers
something that few if any other books can offer: a workable means
to cope constructively with the effects of its many failures.
