turnaround management


Explanation:
Sugeruję wyrażenie opisujące proces zmian, a nie literalny ekwiwalent znaczeniowy. Z moich zawodowych doświadczeń wynika, że nie da się nic "urentownić" jednym ruchem ręki...

get the mining industry in the black


Explanation:
in the black
From the standard accounting practice of using black ink, as opposed to red ink, to denote positive values, especially a net income.

Example sentence(s):
  • Fig. not in debt; in a financially profitable condition. (As opposed to in the red.) I wish my accounts were in the black. Sally moved the company into the black
  • so the sales are all on to get the travel industry back in the black and start the new year with a bang
