Investopedia: Will Qiagen's Restructuring Address The Real Problems?


I am a major skeptic when it comes to the benefits of so-called "restructuring." I don't generally believe that companies find prosperity by firing workers and pulling away from marketing or research and development (R&D). Moreover, I think it sends a very poor message on accountability when the same executives who hired those workers (usually as part of a plan to "invest in growth") are later praised (and rewarded with even bigger pay packages) for firing them.

Now Qiagen (Nasdaq:QGEN) is throwing its hat into the restructuring ring. The real question for shareholders, though, is whether this is another meaningless shuffling of the deck chairs, or whether management has a cogent plan to attain what the company really needs.
