    The term “strategic review” is gaining in popularity.

    In Singtel’s (SGX: Z74) latest earnings, the telco announced its lowest net profit since 1998 amid a strategic review of both its digital marketing and cybersecurity businesses.

    Singtel is not the only one. 

    Blue-chip companies peers such as ComfortDelgro Corporation Limited (SGX: C52) and Singapore Press Holdings (SGX T39) have also announced similar reviews.

    It’s almost as if we are ushering in a new era of strategic reviews for businesses that need to overhaul their business models.

    For some, the changes have been a long time coming.

    Companies, even large, reputable ones, need to constantly reinvent themselves and evolve to stay ahead of the competition.

    With the pandemic upsetting many industries and changing human habits, perhaps it’s not surprising if we witness more businesses going down the restructuring route.

    “Strategic Review” may be a buzz phrase for now, but it may become part of the normal lexicon in years to come as businesses handle a myriad of disruptions.

    Here is a list of our top articles for the week.
