Mergers and acquisitions are always accompanied by a number of widespread challenges that when not taken into consideration can lead to the collapse of both the two companies. These challenges range from loss of experienced workers in the company being bought, overstaffing, increased costs of management in case the modification of the right management is delayed. To overcome these challenges the newly structured company should adopt any new ideas into its operations as well as the leadership (Becher &Juergens , 2015). The acquiring company should incorporate the entire management of the acquired company because of a number of benefits for the success of the newly structured company. The company should thus operate under the mother company not left as a standalone. For a smooth transition and proper running of the newly structured company, Lockheed Martin’s in the merger and acquisition of the Nation Space, Inc. (NSI) should keep Jonathan Robbins in the top management.
The acquired company employees understand their course of duty as opposed to when new workers are hired. Due to the experience that exists in this team, they are at a position to steer the company missions and visions as compared to new staff who will need a lot of training in order to fully adapt in the new management of the company. There will thus be a smooth transition since the two firms share some similar values including a strong commitment to quality and customer service, NSI also has a proven track record of success as both firms share a sense of corporate social responsibility.

When the entire management is kept in his course, there will be smooth running as well as the transition to a major goal (Becher &Juergens , 2015).
Additionally, when these staffs are retained and are to operate as a small company under the mother company Lockheed Martin’s there will be an easier venture into the market. This is because for the success of NSI they are the ones who steered this noble task. The strongly decentralized dynamic workers and extensive knowledge of the local labor requirements with government agencies make NSI viable to be given some management options for the new structures.in their missions and successes this staff was involved and they can thus work diligently with little or no supervision (Becher &Juergens , 2015). Eventually, there will be a reduction in the overall cost of operations. The staff who worked in say the finance department of the NSI should be included in the new structure of the staff in the finance department of the new company formed in liaison with the human resource department and the track record based on the performance of staff of NSI, Lockheed Martins should be able to know whom to hire from NSI. A well and performing team can eventually be formed to steer the goals of the company.
For the success of any new company that arose as a result of merger or acquisition the need to include the old staff in the purchased company is vital. They are therefore supposed to be included in every department since they understand the ventures of their company better than the buyer. In this way, the success can be easily achieved as the costs will be minimized and profits maximized.
