Managerial restructuring and reengineering are two important ways to change, both recommended to Romanian organizations along with privatization, reorganization, improvement, modernization, rationalization. Restructuring is very fashionable lately despite the fact that its results could not be labeled as economically favorable. Reengineering is placed among other change methods only theoretically because of its methodological content on one hand and because there are insufficient evidence on its benefits over managerial and economical performances of a company on the other hand. Restructuring and reengineering cannot be applied and promoted together but separately; each has its own specific methodological scenarios, with partially different objectives and with different consequences. This article's aim to offer to managers of companies in turmoil or already in insolvency two possible methods to become profitable by using either restructuring with accent on changing the organization structure and reduce the staff or by using reengineering with accent on improving the economical and managerial performances by redesign each managerial component following the logical connection flow (objectives- processes-structure-personnel-results).
