Turnaround Management in the Company
Turnaround management in the Company is a dedicated process of corporate renewal. It uses analysis and planning to save troubled companies and returns them to solvency, and to identify the reasons for failing performance in the market, and rectify them. Turnaround management involves management review, root failure causes analysis, and SWOT analysis to determine why the company is failing or the company has low-performance results.
Once the GDG analysis is completed, a long term strategic plan and restructuring plan are created. Once approved, turnaround management professionals begin to implement the plan, continually reviewing its progress and make changes to the plan as needed to ensure the company returns to solvency.
The process of Turnaround Management can be defined as the process of reviving a company that is struggling from the financial problems to keep up with the competition in the market and there comes a time when the management of the company needs to put the process and strategic approach of Turnaround Management plan in place.

- Retrenchment strategy of the turnaround management describes wide-ranging short-term actions, to reduce financial losses, to stabilize the company and to work against the problems, that caused the poor performance. This can be done by selling /assets, abandoning difficult markets, stopping unprofitable production lines, downsizing and outsourcing.

- The repositioning strategy, also known as "entrepreneurial strategy", attempts to generate revenue with new innovations and change in product portfolio and market position. This includes the development of new products, entering new markets, exploring alternative sources of revenue and modifying the image or the mission of a company.
- Replacement is a strategy, where top managers or the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are replaced by new ones. Instead, they rely on their past experience for running the business or belittle the situation as short-termed.

This examination may end with a closure of some divisions, a development of new markets/ projects or an expansion in other business areas.
