Reorganization and the sometimes painful added value of the interim manager in Brazil
In Brazil, a reorganization is the optimization of fiscal, managerial or organizational conditions within a company. Turnaround is part of restructuring and not reorganization or transformation. This distinction is generally valid in Brazil and is based on the delimitations of the North American economic area. This may sometimes sound confusing with regard to the German-speaking economic area, since in this region there is usually no real distinction between reorganization and restructuring.
Sometimes radical change is needed. Companies are subject to dynamic change and this also affects management. The art of leadership, especially in reorganization and restructuring phases, lies in not just looking at a small window of time. Whether growth, crisis or restructuring - no phase is permanent, not even if the right things are done at the right moment.
In this article, however, we will look at the issue from a more fundamental perspective.
