Turnarounds and Transformation (formerly Entrepreneurial Management in a Turnaround Environment)
By: Ranjay Gulati
Description
The focus of this course is the leader as a strategist, architect, decision maker, and change agent in a turnaround or transformation environment. This course is intended for students pursuing a range of career options as business operators, investors, and/or consultants. First, it would be of interest to those who at some point in their career see themselves as a CEO or senior manager potentially leading a troubled enterprise (small, medium, or large) through a crisis or through significant performance transformation. Secondly, it would be important for investors who may be in distressed, special situations, or restructuring-oriented investing or would be investing in assets needing significant performance improvement. Finally, it will be of value to those who expect to support or interface with troubled enterprises as management consultants or as a restructuring advisors.
