The seminar examines the reasons why companies fail at every stage of the business life cycle - from the start-up phase through growth and maturity – and how to confront problems stemming from financial distress before they spin out of control. Panelists will explain why two out of three start-ups fail as well as the key factors that precipitate failure in the growth/maturity stages, illustrating with anecdotes and brief case studies involving major strategic blunders by failing corporations. They will address the lessons that can be learned from these examples, and how best to avoid those mistakes and outcomes in your own business.
