What exactly is a retrenchment strategy? This is strategy commonly used by companies to help solve their problems or try to turn the business around and increase output and profit. Falcon Products is a business dealing with furniture for businesses as well as the common consumers. Recently they employed a retrenchment strategy and this strategy composed of cutting costs, closing down certain buildings or complexes, using lenders involved in a debt-for-equity swap, using recovery businesses, and by outsourcing and laying off workers.
