Within the current global economy, experts appear to agree that the current unpredictable business environment requires management to discover innovative ways of organising their activities. Organisational restructuring is therefore used by management as a strategy to improve their efficiency. However, it is only advisable for organisations to restructure if there is a guarantee that it will lead to optimal performance. When members of an organisation do not understand the reason for restructuring, they may disregard the importance of the process. Hence, it is imperative for the management of an organisation to motivate the need for a change, as well as strengthen efforts towards making the difficult terrain of restructuring a success.
