Features: World-renowned management consultant Max points out in the book that any company's transformation does not necessarily mean the company will escape its sluggish operational situation, nor does it guarantee that the transformation will bring breakthrough results. After any change, managers must discard the various problems arising during the transition period, focus on the adaptation process of employees at all levels during the recovery period, establish a comprehensive information feedback system, and guide employees in establishing a new organizational order. Only then will a perfect recovery truly arrive. The content of this book is based on the author's experience accumulated from participating in 75 corporate mergers, acquisitions, layoffs, and other major corporate changes. These changes vary in form and size, ranging from voluntary large-scale layoffs to forced dismissals, friendly mergers, hostile takeovers, and even the rarest true sense of a "merger of equals."
