Transformation and Growth

Stories of transformation and growth have always been fascinating, a staple of B-School case studies. However, not all businesses are amenable to transformation. The syntax and approach of transformation and restructuring varies in accordance with each situation. 

This site showcases my columns and papers on restructuring, turnaround, and insolvency. In addition, you'll find some fascinating stories under the 'Restructuring Trivia' tab. These stories, once etched in memory but now fading exhibit the waves of Schumpeterian creative destruction.
