Downsizing is one of the most frequently used business strategies for
reducing costs, returning firms to profit or for restructuring
businesses following takeovers, mergers and acquisitions. Downsizing
measures are also set to become much more prevalent in the public
sector as governments seek to restrict levels of public spending. This
book is one of the first to provide a thorough study of downsizing
from a global perspective. It examines the phenomenon in its entirety,
exploring how it is initiated and what the process of downsizing looks
like. It also looks at the effects of downsizing at a number of
different levels, from the individual (e.g., motivational effects,
effects on health and stress levels) to the organizational (e.g.,
financial outcomes, reputational and productivity outcomes). Written
by an international team of experts, the book provides a comprehensive
overview of downsizing that examines both the strategic and human
implications of this process.
