      abstract = {Corporate restructuring has become a critical strategic tool for organizations seeking to optimize liquidity and working capital in increasingly volatile business environments. Effective restructuring frameworks align financial, operational, and governance mechanisms to restore balance sheet strength, enhance liquidity reserves, and improve cash flow efficiency. This review explores core approaches to corporate restructuring, including debt reorganization, equity restructuring, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and operational realignments. Special attention is given to how restructuring strategies can directly influence liquidity management, short-term financing, and working capital optimization. The paper highlights the role of strategic planning, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance in designing restructuring models that not only stabilize firms during financial distress but also position them for sustainable growth. Moreover, it discusses the importance of integrating financial analytics, scenario planning, and performance monitoring into restructuring frameworks to achieve measurable improvements in capital efficiency. By synthesizing existing literature and practical case applications, this review proposes a structured framework that organizations can adopt to guide decision-making. Ultimately, the study underscores the significance of corporate restructuring as both a crisis-response mechanism and a proactive financial strategy for long-term resilience.},
