The study concerns itself with restructuring strategies and restructuring actions of large public U.S. firms from 1993 through 2005 and their impact on post-bankruptcy performance following a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The empirical analysis relates to the research areas financial economics, strategic management and corporate banktruptcy and builds on the research topics of financial distress, corporate restructuring and post-bankruptcy performance. Using a multivariate logistic regression model, the study analyzes the influence of the employed restructuring actions on the firms' post-bankruptcy performance. The restructuring actions are classified into four comprehensive restructuring categories (operational, financial, managerial, portfolio), which fall either into the bankruptcy phase or the post-bankruptcy phase. As a result, differences between successful and unsuccessful firms can be deducted that should prove useful for resolving future corporate bankruptcy cases in the U.S.
