	Restructuring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Restructuring is the corporate management term for the act of partially dismantling and reorganizing a company for the purpose of making it more efficient and therefore more profitable.
		Restructuring is often done as part of a bankruptcy or of a takeover by another firm, particularly a leveraged buyout by a private equity firm such as KKR.
		If the restructured company was a leverage acquisition, the parent company will likely resell it at a profit when the restructuring has proven successful.

	Cognitive restructuring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In cognitive therapy, the process of learning to refute cognitive distortions is called cognitive restructuring.
		The rationale used in cognitive restructuring attempts to strengthen the client's belief that 'self-talk' can influence performance and particularly that self-defeating thoughts or negative self-statements can cause emotional distress and interfere with performance.
		A statement about the stimuli explaining the trigger is: "I do not know how to dance, I will never be as happy as those people." and a restructuring statement is: "I want to learn how to dance." This is a way of changing a belief from a negative to an positive one.

	Restructuring Medicare: Impacts on Beneficiaries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In theory, at least, one of the most important distinctions between the two is whether beneficiaries bear the full risks of rising health care costs (in a defined contribution framework) or whether some of that risk is to be shared by government (under premium support).
		Restructuring options could reduce federal spending on Medicare over time, but they would likely also result in substantial increases in beneficiary liabilities as well.
		Further, both restructuring options would result in differential burdens on beneficiaries, depending upon the costs of the plans that were available to them and what they chose.

	Military Force Restructuring
		While restructuring efforts may be undertaken as a means to better civil-military relations, they often have opposite effects that heighten societal tensions.

		Although force restructuring is necessary as the challenges to a society shift and change over time, existing military structures often hinder such change and can create otherwise avoidable conflicts.

	Restructuring Education: Shirley McCune
		Any such restructuring must be grounded in a broad understanding of the basic contract between education and society and the ways that that contract and set of relationships must be changed to meet individual, community, and national needs.
		The restructuring of educational organizations is essential, but this is likely to have little effect unless we understand the need for the restructuring of our teaching assumptions and methods.
		The restructuring at the classroom level must be based on the understanding that high levels of learning require a systematic and intense affective and cognitive interaction between teacher and students.
