Abstract
Turnaround management is not just for troubled companies. Today''s managers must earn the right to compete every day. The basics that will help them do that are the same ones that turnaround managers use to bring failing companies back to life. The rapidly changing environment can dump an otherwise untroubled company into new bankruptcy. Relying on summary reports from distant department heads to learn about the company''s cash position can therefore be dangerous. It is better to scrutinize each line item in a cash projection and to use spreadsheet programs to design a number of possible scenarios.
