Many viable businesses in Jamaica are in need of turnaround from losses and financial distress. This book provides solutions from a new lens  a simple, yet highly effective set of profit pathways developed from a sharp review of international literature and exploration of the business models of Jamaican firms. In Chapter 1, the book explains why business renewal is an urgent need in Jamaica and presents an effective roadmap for firm recovery from organizational decline.

Chapter 7 recaps the main points and underscores critical implications of the roadmap for managerial decisions and actions. The language is clear and simple with appealing tables and figures where necessary.
