Given the topics for this week's assignment (Downsizing, Divestiture, and Bankruptcy, Finance in Strategic Planning, & Marketing in Strategic Planning), what are your thoughts on the balance that is necessary when an organization must consider downsizing staff (regardless of position), strategic financial planning, and the potential for challenges with marketing the organization?

For example, imagine a small rural hospital that is considering the option to downsize to maintain financial security. What types of challenges might have to be met when evaluating their strategic financial plans with marketing plans in their own community? (You may use this example or any other healthcare-related organization such as a physician office, medical equipment manufacturer, etc.)
