Abstract
Corporate restructuring implementation failure has the potential for adverse business outcomes. Business owners are concerned with corporate restructuring implementation failure, as it is the number one predictor of the collapse of businesses. Grounded in transformational leadership theory and business process reengineering model, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the processes and skills business owners use to minimize corporate restructuring implementation failure. The participants comprised 10 business owners of the manufacturing sector who minimized corporate restructuring implementation failure. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and a review of the organization’s corporate restructuring information on social media platforms. Through the modified Van Kaam method of analysis 10 themes were identified: continuous improvement, restructuring proactiveness, stakeholder engagement, capacity building, communication, transparency, diverse leadership skills, leadership self-leading, monitoring and evaluation, and coaching. A key recommendation is for business leaders to have a proactive mindset in corporate restructuring implementation through the recognition, continuous engagement, and influence of all stakeholders to implement daily, weekly, monthly, and continuous improvement systems. The implications for positive social change include the potential to sustain businesses, maintain employees, create jobs, support employees’ families, and the economic development of their communities.
