Routledge Companion to Turnaround Management and Bankruptcy
Prof. Jan Adriaanse and Dr. Jean-Pierre van der Rest are currently completing an edited volume on Turnaround Management and Bankruptcy which will be published by Routledge in December 2016. A book written by leading experts in the field of business, law and finance, this edited volume brings together the latest thoughts and developments on turnaround management and business rescue from an academic, management, judiciary and turnaround/insolvency practitioner perspective.
The Companion presents different viewpoints on turnarounds and business rescue. Presenting a state-of-the-art review of failure research, such as on bankruptcy prediction, causes of decline, or distressed asset valuation, it also presents the latest insights from turnaround management research as well as a contemporary insight into law debates on insolvency legislation reform, cross-border judicial issues and insolvency policy effectiveness. In this way, the volume presents a modern, interdisciplinary and scholarly overview of the latest insights, issues and debates in turnaround management and business rescue, from an international perspective.
The Routledge Companion to Turnaround Management and Bankruptcy aims at a wider audience interested in turnarounds and failure, such as faculty and students in the fields of business, strategic management, marketing, economics, law, accountancy, finance, but also at judges, insolvency practitioners, lawyers, accountants and turnaround professionals, as well as the EU and government officials, staff of trade unions and employer’s associations.
