Writing Assignment Emerging practices in managerial accounting

An annual report of the Maytag Corporation contained the following excerpt:

The Company announced the restructuring of its major appliance operations in an effort to strengthen its position in the industry and to deliver improved performance to both customers and shareowners. This included the consolidation of two separate organizational units into a single operation responsible for all activities associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company's brands of major appliances and the closing of a cooking products plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, with transfer of that production to an existing plant in Cleveland, Tennessee.

The restructuring cost Maytag $40 million and disrupted the lives of many of the company’s employees.
