Abstract
While profitability improved for a sample of 260 downscaling firms in 46 industries, productivity declined dramatically. We propose and critically examine five competing hypotheses to explain these findings 1 learning curve effects associated with new technologies 2 experience curve effects associated with the introduction of new products or entering new markets 3 systemic problems within the firm 4 unexpected loss of more productive employees, and 5 reduced commitment among remaining employees.
