How To Manage Downsizing More Effectively?

Abstract

Bu çalışma, örgütsel küçülme kavramı ve uygulamalarına genel bir yaklaşım sunma ve küçülme sonucunda işten çıkarılan ve geride kalan personele uygulanan yardımlar açısından yeniden yerleştirme destek danışmanlığına daha kapsamlı bir rol verme amacını gütmektedir. Çalışmada bazı akademisyenlerin ve uygulayıcıların görüşleriyle desteklenen bir şekilde, örgütsel küçülmenin sadece maliyetleri düşürmek amacıyla uygulanan bir çözüm değil; rekabet avantajı sağlamak amacıyla sahiplenilen bir strateji olarak uygulanması önerilmektedir.
