2. INTRODUCTION:
Corporate Restructuring is the process of redesigning one or more aspects
of a company. The process of reorganizing a company may be implemented
due to a number of different factors, such as positioning the company to be
more competitive, surviving a currently adverse economic climate, or acting
on the self confidence of the corporation to move in an entirely new
direction.

have many limitations/ restrictions such as finance, legal, business
and management which are to be kept in mind before restructuring.

Restructuring may have a single objective or multiple objectives;
amongst them, there must be a dominant objective in addition to
other important objectives for a successful corporate restructuring.
