Restructuring hospitals, restructuring nursing.

Anne Landesman · PubMed · 1996

The global economy is in the depths of recession. Organizations from virtually every industry, including manufacturing and service, have responded by reducing expenses and cutting operational costs. Health care restructuring is one result of the new economy. Hospitals worldwide have been flattening organizational charts and reducing costs. Downsizing, rightsizing, restructuring--whatever term is used, the message is the same: people are a cost to be reduced.

Coping with restructuring [organizational restructuring]

David Coates, Jane Guinery, Bart L. MacCarthy · Manufacturing Engineer · 2005

Corus, the international metals group, is a large and complex business competing in a dynamic market place. With the pressures on the company to manage its business effectively and responsively, there is a continuing need to re-evaluate business structures. This article looks at the impact of such restructures on production planning, scheduling and control (PSC) activities and their organisation within Corus Construction & Industrial (CC&I) within the Long Products Division. Through understanding the current practices in PSC, we examine the ways in which decision-making needs to be supported in periods of organisational structural change.

RESTRUCTURING CAPITAL AND RESTRUCTURING HEGEMONY

Henk Overbeek, Kees van der Pijl · 1993

In one long revolutionary wave, the East European regimes of ‘really existing socialism’ have been swept away in the past two years. Communism as a living political movement no longer exists, and anticommunism is therefore no longer an essential element of bourgeois ideology in the West. Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and most of their former allies in the Third World (Angola, Ethiopia, Vietnam), are swiftly being reintegrated into the world economy, their social structures overturned to accommodate their insertion into the global capitalist class structure. In these formerly socialist countries, neoliberalism has become the predominant ideology legitimating the privatization of the state-controlled economy and the substitution of the market for the social provision of basic welfare. For Europe as a whole this has set in motion processes of economic and political liberalization and mass migration on a scale unprecedented in the past century. The need for a ‘New European Architecture’ (Holman 1992) determines the shape of European politics to come.

Abstract New organizations of care and social service delivery (especially the development of coordination and networks) are leading to the definition new spaces. This article is based on examples of restructuring of health care systems in France and in Quebec. Both are moving towards more integration of delivery of care. In Quebec, 95 territories were created with a leading structure: the center for health and social services. This structure is responsible for bringing all the providers of services into a network and for giving to the population the guarantee of continuity and quality of care. It results in a new geography of health at the local scale. In France, continuity and quality of care are also used as arguments to justify changes in the organization of the system.

This paper discusses the Collaborative Action Team (CAT) process, which was initiated by the U.S. Department of Education, and which encourages the development of partnerships among families, community members, school personnel, and students in communities with histories of ongoing and underserved needs. CAT is based on a set of core principles and includes four stages of team development: Team Identification, Team Mobilization, Project Development, and Project Implementation. The core principles are representative membership, shared leadership, consensus decision-making, and action focus. The article focuses on whether collaborative partnerships among the school, home, and community can be developed and sustained as a result of the CAT process. CAT participants from Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas were included in the study. The findings show that over 90 percent of the sites under review had completed the majority of activities in the first stage of the CAT process. Teams were comprised of

Findings from a stuciy that examined the school-level factors related to the success of early efforts to restructure schools through school-based management are presented in this paper. Specifically, the study examined the antecedent factors expected to affect the probability of a school moving forward toward more extensive decentralization. An assumption of the study was that variables associated with greater student achievement also characterize schools with greater decentralization initiative. Methodology involved analysis of school district documents and reports of 130 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District--65 schools engaged in decentralization and 65 not involved. Findings indicate that schools exhibiting some degree of decentralization were smaller and had greater ethnic and linguistic student and faculty diversity. The finding that schools did not differ significantly on the dimensions of socioeconomic status or fiscal discretion suggests that variables exert influence at different stages of decentralization.

Lister, Graham · RADAR (Glasgow School of Art) · 2018

Restructuring was a solo Exhibition, at Mount Florida Gallery and Studios, Glasgow. It took place in November 2018, and was envisaged as a test-bed for new visual works, and as a way to crystallise critical-thinking which had been taking place through the latter part of 2018.
\n
\nThe Exhibition featured a new central work, a large paper ball. This work was produced from paintings of repeated forms and barrier materials on paper from 2016-18, which were 're-structured' within the studio; sewn together to create a 60m long single painted work.
\n
\nThis 60m long work was transported to the Mount Florida gallery, unrolled and was scrunched up into a new, unique structure which dominated the relatively compact gallery space. An essay accompanied the exhibition, which was open to the public and supported by Mount Florida Gallery and Studios.

\nOrganising differently,
\nMaking something clearer,
\nChanging the pattern.
\n
\nFor the last three years, painted works produced by Glaswegian artist Graham Lister have often related to repeated aesthetic patterns present within everyday physical barrier materials, including chain link fences, building site hoardings and construction site meshes. With a making process initially derived from a representational mode of painting, he has developed iterative processes by which visual forms and linear structures are distilled, simplified, and are eventually presented as large-scale works on paper. Such works have been showcased and indeed utilised as part of architectonic structures in Art Lacuna, London (DDDD, 2017) and at the Bowery, Leeds (Over/Under/Cover/Repeat, 2018). Within these exhibitions, the painted works mimic the original function of the fence / mesh / barrier, and are draped, hung or rolled-out to alter the way in which the gallery space is inhabited or traversed.
\n
\nFor Restructuring at the Mount Florida Gallery, pieces previously created for site-specific exhibitions across the UK, have been combined to offer up a new expanded painted work in the space. The exhibition organises these existing works differently, looks to make the everydayness of the subjects clearer and through the restructuring mechanism of the scrunched-up paper ball, changes their original patterned surfaces.
\n
\nGraham Lister is a painter who is based in Glasgow. His work has been shown at venues across the UK. In 2018 he has been the recipient of the PS Mirabel Award, has been long-listed for the Contemporary British Painting Prize and has recently worked with a group of artists as part of #99 Files in Skojpe, Macedonia. He completed a practice-based PhD at the Glasgow School of Art in 2016 and has previously studied for an MFA (Grays) and an MA in Art History (Glasgow).

Dino Dogan · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

Abstract The restructuring of a company involves the profound transformation of a company. The reason for restructurings is less often the exploration of new business potentials and more often a crisis. Since companies generally do not transition from prosperity to failure in one step, those responsible theoretically have enough time to save the company from existential problems. The prerequisite for this is that the management recognizes the signs of the crisis in time and initiates appropriate measures. The later this occurs, the higher the restructuring effort and the lower the chances of success. There is no universally valid checklist for how restructurings should be carried out. Every company, and thus every restructuring case, is unique. Nevertheless, there are commonalities, so that the wheel does not have to be completely reinvented each time during restructurings. The key to success is a situational design of seven fundamental restructuring components (7P): Plan, People, Partitioning, Processes, Platforms, Portfolio, and Performance.

Elliot Siemiatycki · International Encyclopedia of Geography · 2017

Restructuring is defined as a change in the way that a system or structure is organized. In economic terms, it refers to the ways that sectors, industries, cities, and corporations are transformed from one state to another. Urban and economic geographers have been particularly interested in restructuring because of its inherently spatial dimensions. The dramatic shift in the orientation of city‐regional and national economies since the 1970s has been one of the most compelling economic geography storylines of the twentieth century. This entry tracks how geographers have studied economic restructuring while intimating some of the key areas of research for understanding restructuring in the twenty‐first century.

Erik Swyngedouw · 1996

Summary. The paper explores the contested re-con ® guration of the position of the national state as a result of the reworking of the scales of governance. It is argued that the intricate relationship between recen t changes in the `scaling ’ of the national state and the formation of new and differen tly `scaled ’ institutional forms takes place in and through processes of urban/regional restructuring as part of an effort to `produce ’ globally competitive spaces. The rise of `glocal’ forms of governance is paralleled by the formation of new eÂlite coalitio ns on the one hand and the system atic exclusion or further disempowerment of politically and/or economically already weaker social groups on the other. Such exclusive homogenisation of regional spaces erodes diversity and difference in highly oppressive ways. The glocal `entrepreneurial ’ or `Schumpete-rian workfare ’ state becomes an `authoritaria n ’ state. This new `post-Fordist (?) ’ form of governance is unstable and re-en forces fragmentation and tension in civil society. This, in turn, not only jeopardises the potential success of the restructuring drive, but undermines social cohesion in an already fractured and fragmented regional social fabric. This thesis will be explored and documented through the analysis of the political economy of urban-regional socio-ec onomic restructuring that parallele d the recen t closure of Belgium’s ® ve remaining coal pits in the north-eastern Province of Limburg.
