Critical Thinking

Abstract

Large public businesses restructure themselves on a normal basis with the prime goals of accomplishing better economic presentation and demonstrating responsiveness to shareholder interests. However, it is well-known that such discontinuities typically result in great stress and confusion amongst employees, particularly over how to achieve new stretch goals.
