Sucher received worried emails from two MBA students in her first year Leadership and Corporate Accountability LCA class at Harvard Business School. Elana Green now Elana Silver and David Rosales both HBS MBA had been troubled by a class discussion about a company ravaged by a massive fire. They were very upset says Sucher the MBA Class of Professor of Management Practice and Joseph L. Rice III Faculty Fellow at HBS.
What upset them was how cavalier they thought their classmates were regarding the lives of the employees. They were convinced that their classmates had no idea what it would be like to be in a small town in New England and to no longer have a source of employment. “WE WANT TO CHANGE THE WAY Poland Mobile Number List LAYOFFS ARE DONE” Those emails have led to a multiyear study on the impact of layoffs. of laid off workers as well as a couple of technical notes for students—one focusing on best practices for managers as they consider workforce reductions the other on the overall effects of layoffs. Case studies on individual companies best practices in layoffs downsizing and workforce flexibility have followed including a new case about how Honeywell weathered the Great Recession.
The next step of the research will involve interviewing managers who have conducted layoffs—or who have found alternatives to them. Sucher is also working on a prescriptive book for managers with HBS Research Associate Susan Winterberg. This isn t just an academic interest for us Sucher says. We want to change how people think about this topic. We know there are sound and legitimate reasons why companies turn to layoffs—to respond to strategic shifts add new skills and pursue market changes. And leaders need ways to respond to business cycle changes.
