The general purpose of this study is to examine how restructuring has affected company performance in Canada. The following matters are studied: the general and specific factors that have fuelled restructuring in Canadian firms; the general pattern of restructuring practices and the forms of restructuring; reasons for successful restructuring in some companies, and whether Canadian firms can learn from such experience; and the effects of restructuring on company profitability, productivity, and employment. Basic data for the study were compiled from an interview survey of individual companies. Types of restructuring examined include downsizing, total quality management, re- engineering, and outsourcing. The concluding section discusses whether corporate restructuring is successful and why, and shows what role government programs have played in corporate restructuring in Canada.
