Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Downsizing typically involves reducing the size of the workforce in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This type of change initiative can also involve restructuring work processes and overall organizational structure to improve productivity and competitiveness. Outsourcing and acquisitions may also impact workforce and costs, but may not necessarily focus on improving efficiency and productivity within the organization. Restructuring can involve a variety of changes, but may not always result in a reduction in workforce or costs.
