Week 4 Project
Downsizing became popular in the 1990s and it resurfaced aggressively following the global financial crisis in 2008. Historic growth strategies and talent wars increased the size of the workforce. Today, expensive human capital is being eliminated again with downsizing.

- Analyze if downsizing allows organizations to meet their goals.

Submission Details
- Present a 2- to 3-page paper in a Microsoft Word document formatted in APA style. Cite any sources using the APA guidelines.
