Background of the Study
Corporate restructuring involves reorganizing a company’s operations, structures, or finances to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance profitability. It can take the form of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or internal reorganizations. Restructuring is often undertaken by businesses facing financial challenges or seeking to adapt to competitive pressures (Adebayo & Hassan, 2024).
The construction industry in Kano State plays a vital role in infrastructural development and economic growth. However, many construction companies face financial constraints due to factors such as high operating costs, market volatility, and inefficiencies in management. Research has shown that corporate restructuring can improve financial performance by streamlining operations and enhancing resource allocation (Ibrahim & Usman, 2023).
This study explores the relationship between corporate restructuring and financial performance in the construction sector in Kano State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of corporate restructuring, many construction companies in Kano State are hesitant to adopt such measures. Challenges such as resistance to change, lack of expertise, and high costs of restructuring often deter firms from exploring this option. Consequently, these companies continue to face financial instability and reduced competitiveness.
Research by Yusuf and Bello (2023) highlights that businesses that engage in restructuring often achieve better financial outcomes. However, there is limited research on the specific impact of restructuring on the financial performance of construction companies in Kano State. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the relationship between corporate restructuring and financial performance.
