The paper examined the role of corporate restructuring in improving organizational performance by reviewing various literature in the domain of strategic management, where key authors, relevant theories, and studies were identified and reviewed, and a premium was placed on books and articles in peer-reviewed academic journals published between 2017 and 2023. Consequently, 30 authors were examined to isolate the corporate restructuring strategies beneficial to improving organizational performance. Analysis showed that these strategies can take various forms, and many empirical studies were underpinned by the dynamic capabilities theory, the resource-based theory, or the strategy-structure contingency theory, and the relationships were significant. Thus, corporate restructuring was adjudged to have the potential to enhance organizational performance. Scholars in the field of strategic management should therefore pay attention to the long-term consequences of restructuring.
The objective of the chapter was to review pertinent literature on the concepts of supply chain resilience and digital capabilities. Further reviews were undertaken to identify the supply chain digital technologies presently in use and to explore the relevance of theoretical underpinnings, where these theories or perspectives attempt to explain the relationships between the constructs. It was concluded that although the digital technologies available in the market to support supply chain resilience are sufficient, the same cannot be said for the underpinning theories, and neither are the concepts under consideration properly grounded in the literature. More work, therefore, needs to be done on the concepts and the theories.
The objective of the chapter is to assess the role of digital transformation in small business management and specifically to evaluate the strategies suitable for small businesses, identify the underpinning theories, and highlight related empirical studies. Thus, several kinds of literature in the domains of information systems, strategic management, and small business management were extensively reviewed. It was discovered that small businesses are struggling with digital transformation. However, those that have adopted the system are benefitting immensely. It is therefore recommended that more attention be paid to those strategies that work well for small businesses; that tailor-made theories for small business digital technology adoption be developed; and more studies, specifically longitudinal studies, are required to appreciate the complexity of the problem and where interventions are required.
