Successful reorgs are done in response to growth, changing markets, and new lines of business.

Just like the examples you gave.

This is either a desperation or punitive reorg.

There are also boredom and “make my mark” reorgs and this ain’t them.

One could very well characterize the reorganization of IBM in the mid nineties as a desperation reorg and a punitive one (100K employees laid off.)

It was also a very successful one.

Was it? It could have been IBM who invented the smartphone or hardware as a service.

Surviving cannot be the ambition of IBM.
