An organizational cycle comprises of four phases: start up, growth, maturity and decline. A business begins as an idea and finally grows to become a well-established organization.

At the maturity phase the business starts to decline unless it diversifies its operation strategy to meet existing market opportunities.

To find the 101 deficiencies that can lead to a demise of organisation one needs to open one’s eyes and face the facts.
