Abstract
To cope with ever-changing market conditions, companies often have to reorganize. But leaders tend to get conflicting advice about when and how to do so. Does the company need a new structure, or should it tweak the existing one? Will the benefits of a reorg outweigh the costs? Can the work be accomplished before conditions change again? How far should the changes go?
