I am here to state that this is the overview of Lockheed Martin
Corporation and Jack
Harris is the CEO of the consulting firm consulted by the CEO
of Lockheed Martin Corporation,
crisis consulting.
Business profile
In the contemporary world, there are many challenges facing
companies in different
industries in both developed countries and undeveloped
countries. There is a great need to
understand the potential risks that may face the business to take
care of the shareholder interests,
meet the legitimate consistency, and secure the required
resources such as human resources
scholarly and reputational resources. Customers are helped with
data by the shareholder value-
added. It also helps in another backup and preparation so that
people in the organization are
ready to distinguish risk and so that they can quickly react to

3. crisis consulting (Dove et al.,
2018). The SVAs problem consulting can work with customer
administration to identify the
potential turmoil that Lockheed martin corporation is likely to
face. The understanding of using
fitting systems and methodologies and the advancement of the
same make it possible to oversee
and relieve emergencies through computerized systems. It is
possible to utilize and outline
recreations by testing setups and arrangements. Through the
operational reviews and the
preparation of potential crises in the Lockheed Martin
Corporation, one’s status is also protected.
If the problem exceeds, then the SVAs group can react to the
expansive scope of the crisis to
develop the best action to solve these crises.
Crisis consulting international has supplied security and crisis
administration to different
organizations such as the Christian evangelist. The concern
consulting international has been
helping these groups evaluate risk, improve policy creations,
site overviews, and arrange training
staff, crisis administration group, meetings management of
occasions, among others. Other

4. 3
activities include risk assessment, prioritization of risks,
evaluation, and comprehension of
corporate risk profile. Crisis consulting international uses
scientific procedures to prepare
customers in perceiving and measuring risks to understand the
effect of these risks so that they
can use the available methodologies to oversee risk and avoid it
(Davies, 2019). SVA is used in
the business impact assessment process to break down the
business with the end goal in mind.
That builds up top to bottom comprehension of recognizing the
primary regions primarily
dependent on the company. This audit aims to establish more
extensive deterrent ways of risk
arrangements and prepare programs. SVA can also be
incorporated with working with customers
to create programs for Lockheed Martin corporation to take the
company to global levels; the
accomplished groups then work with customers to advance these
techniques and keep the

5. projects running. It is then easier to respond to crises and to
render back up in any other area
needed.
The company's biggest competitors include Boeing, BAE
Systems, and L3Harris
technologies. The company faces competition because some of
these companies enjoy a large
capital base. However, Lockheed Martin can acquire a market
share of 28.77%.
Opportunities
There will be governmental conflicts and crises within there
will always be the need for
the security vulnerability assessment.
Threats
Competitors have a large capital base.
The actions taken in cubbing the current crisis might not be fair
to everybody; hence they
might be considered biased.

6. Governmental action
The biggest challenge that the business faces are governmental
regulations. The
government regulates everything that happens in the
organization, and if the company has to do
something, it must be within its permit. Any activity carried out
without a license attracts
punishments and fines from the government. This is a way that
the government creates
monopolies because it affects fair competition between
companies. Some political choices affect
the objectives of a multinational such as the Lockheed Martin
Corporation because they might be
antagonistic to the business activities. When the government
makes laws, for instance, that limit
the companies to undertaking some activities, this can cause an
obliteration due to transformation
because it might benefit some companies more than others.
There are significant scale risks, and
the small-scale and large-scale risks affect every single segment
in the corporation. In contrast,
the small-scale risks can affect a specific area of the business,
due to the antagonistic
circumstances and the likelihood of the government making

7. political choices that restrict every
single move of the business the comp [any mighty not be able to
undertake essential activities
that might be profitable if they do not have the license. These
restrictions lead to companies not
taking some opportunities.
Therefore, there must be a refinement to ensure the company
does not lose cash due to
these political restrictions; this is done by evaluating the firms’
political risks and the nation's
political risks. The political risks associated with the firm are
the activities in Lockheed Martin
that are naturally unfair. For instance, the likelihood of a
legislature withdrawing their agreement
with Lockheed Martin or when a psychological oppressor
gathering focuses on Lockheed
Martin's physical operations is a firm particular political risk.
On the other hand, the nation's
5
unique political risks are not coordinated in a firm but are
countrywide, influencing the execution

8. of a firm. Through fusing of solid intervention dialect, firms
can decrease the probability of these
risks by, for instance, upgrading to the nearby security so that
fear-based oppressor assaults are
done away with. It is difficult for firms to have control of the
political risks. The most profitable
way of avoiding the political risks is to quit the corporation's
nation. However, this would be
losing a market; therefore, the company must come up with
ways of ensuring the risks can be
dealt with, or at least they can operate with those risks. The
government risks emerge from
administrative power; whether legally or illegally used, this
power affects the organization's
activities. In addition, there is a risk of precariousness risks.
These might include individuals
fighting for control or progression; in this case, Lockheed
corporation only faces problems with
the government risks because it is the power of administration
used to create restrictions for the
company.
The organization can be saved from the political risks through
legitimate arranging and
due persistence. The company should first evaluate the market it

9. will operate in and assess its
chances to succeed in this nation. Another way is to build a
decent company is to ensure that
there is a good reputation of the employers of Lockheed Martin
treating their employees with
respect and humanity.
Lockheed Martin teams
The company operates in segments, and also it deals with
different types of business.
Depending on the type of business being carried out, the
company is divided into sections led by
various teams. There are sub-industries formed by these
segments, including the defense,
military, aerospace, etc. Each piece is expected to create
whatever product they are making to be
competitive in the market. These segments also contribute to
different products for the company
6
since the company is subdivided into various industries which
manufacture additional items.
Other segments and departments support the organization, such

10. as the sales department and the
human resource management teams, among others. The items
produced by the company are sold
worldwide, and also, they compete well in the market,
considering Lockheed Martin corporation
has a market share of 28.77%. The company's net incomes are
generated from collecting
information and supplying it to the government and different
businesses such as information
technology, electronics, aeronautical, missiles, and space. There
is also fast growth caused by the
company acquiring other companies. The company is both a
security and aerospace technology
company.
By providing the available services, the company can command
a significant market
share and remain competitive in the market due to its teams.
The most profitable areas include
the security aerospace defense industry and information. These
segments have made the
Lockheed Martin corporation have the largest market share of
advanced technologies. Other
teams, such as the human resource management teams, help
ensure the labor-capital is well

11. managed to ensure maximum productivity. Ensuring maximum
productivity for the company
through proper management of the human resource is essential
because the company employs
technology, and it is only through the appropriate management
of human resources that
technological advancements help create more competitive items
in the market (Torres &
McCarthy, 2020). In addition, proper management of human
resources brings satisfaction to the
employees, leading to more motivators, hence more advanced
items that are more competitive in
the market. The company can offer its customers and
government well-performing products with
advanced advertising systems. The products can be handed
directly to group gear individuals,
offering them to the government or sponsoring the goods in the
market. The company's items are
7
seen and gotten in the market and introduced to different buyers
who might be interested in the

12. company's products. This kind of representation is crucial in the
market because it helps the
company set on-field legitimacy due to the excellent acquisition
of the products in the market.
Territorial donning merchandise chains and the national ones
are incorporated through wholesale
channels to produce the company deals. There are also house
stores in Maryland which offer
these items through the company’s system.
Stakeholders
Since the company is a multinational that operates on a global
scale, it becomes essential
to understand who is influenced by the choices taken by the
organization and the people who are
capable of impacting results. The partner idea has been
accomplishing boundless prominence
among producers and scholastics, the media, and corporate
chiefs (Suydam & Pyles, 2020).
There is a methodology used to draw partners, and there are
also government restrictions and
regulations when it comes to choosing the partners. Lockheed
Martin grew from the acquisition
of companies, and advanced technologies own it; therefore, for
this company, the partnership is

13. all about attracting the consumers from the start instead of
reducing competition or bringing
monopoly. It is coming together for the companies to ensure
they produce the best they can for
their consumers and the benefit of the shareholders. Different
stakeholders help in the success of
the corporation, and these include:
Internal stakeholders: these are the stakeholders responsible for
activities like
financing, co-appointing resource distribution, and the
wellbeing of Lockheed Martin. They
oversee crucial actions in the company.
8
External stakeholders: these are the people who contribute their
perspectives and also
undertake activities that are critical to them. These include the
community, administration
clients, and other individuals affected by the company's
activities.
Stakeholder analysis is carried out to help consider the people
that should be

14. incorporated in the Lockheed Martin corporation list of the
stakeholders. In the stakeholder
analysis system, the people to be regarded as stakeholders are
vetted and analyzed and how the
company impacts them and how they impact the company.
Through partner mapping, it is
possible to develop the required data to distinguish the
objectives gathering and evaluate which
partner has more impact on the organization. It is determined
which stakeholders have a stake in
the organization. At the same time, partners of Lockheed Martin
are portrayed in the companies’
terms, and they are distinguished as the worker's administration,
among others. In contrast, the
external partners include their clients’ suppliers and contenders
(Gregg et al., 2019). It is possible
to attempt a cross limit in the advancement of systems
undertakings and projects in a client to
ensure the stakeholders' wellbeing and ensure their interests are
taken care of.
Current environment
The Lockheed Martin Corporation is a multinational that
operates globally to offer

15. information technology solutions, military and aeronautical
services, among many more. With its
large make share in advanced technologies, it can gain an
excellent financial position to continue
competing with other competitors such as Boeing and general
dynamics. The company operates
in a very competitive environment which keeps it on its toes and
ensures the company produces
the best items and offers only the best in the market (Gaspar ,
2020). In addition, there are
political risks that face the company in the environment; these
are the business regulations that
can prevent the company from going into some activities.
Although the companies that compete
9
with Lockheed have a large capital base and a lot of experience
in the space and security systems
industry, they can still compete due to its use of advanced
technologies and other strategies such
as an acquisition. The company uses defense and aerospace
systems to develop the best products
and reliable data supplied to the government. Due to these

16. systems, the company can make a
good bargaining power in the market to acquire a good market
share hence an excellent financial
position.

18. Lockheed Martin corporation
Lockheed Martin Corporation is the world’s largest defense
company. Lockheed Martin Corporation was formed by the
merger between Glenn L. Martin Company and Lockheed
Aircraft company. The merging of the two companies happened
in 1995 after the two CEOs agreed to work together. After the
formation of Lockheed Martin corporation in 1995, Daniel M.
Tellep became the first CEO of the merger, while Augustine
became the first president. Lockheed Martin corporation
became the biggest defense company in the whole world after
the merger in 1995.
Lockheed Martin Corporation, now headquartered in Bethesda,
Maryland, after its formation, focused on aerospace technology,
is used to collect the information which it supplies to the
government. Martin corporation is mainly concerned with
different types of businesses such as Space and Missiles,
information technology, electronics, and aeronautics. The early
growth of Lockheed Martin corporation was mainly through the
acquisition of other companies, for example, the acquisition of
Loral Corporation in 1996. The current Chief executive officer
of Lockheed Martin corporation is James Taiclet, who
simultaneously serves as chairman and president of the
corporation.
Lockheed Martin Corporation is both aerospace technology and
security company. Lockheed Martin corporation belongs to the
Advanced Technological information security Aerospace
industry. Lockheed is classified into segments and sections
depending on the type of business it carries out. These segments
form the sub-industry, which includes Military, aerospace, and
defense or Civil aviation sub-industries. According to
https://csimarket.com, Lockheed Martin Corporation has a
market share of 28.77% in the aeronautics segment. Lockheed
Martin corporation occupies a larger market share of the
Advanced Technologies, information, security Aerospace
defense industry.
Lockheed Martin corporation faces competition from several

19. other companies which provide similar services as one of them
provides. Lockheed Martin corporation faces competition in all
its business segments, including aerospace, information
technology, and aeronautics technology. Some competitors of
Lockheed Corporation include Boeing, General Dynamics, BAE
system, L3Harris Technologies, and many others. Some of these
companies have a long history in defense, space, and security
systems than even Lockheed Martin corporation, which makes
them offer better services to their customers. All of the
companies are involved in developing, designing, and
manufacturing technologies used in defense and aerospace
systems.
Competition from other companies in the many threats to
Lockheed Martin Corporation. Companies such as Boeing and
BAE systems enjoy a huge capital base that allows them to
carry out research and develop more sophisticated technology.
Development of better technology as compared to Lockheed
Martin corporation paces them at an advantageous position. To
avoid the threats, Lockheed Martin corporation should take any
available opportunity and capitalize on it. Lockheed Martin
needs to invest more by launching more satellites and sensors in
space. The company needs to employ qualified employees and
train more people to help in the development of the company.
Regulation by the government can have a significant impact on
the company's performance. Companies operating in security
defense and aerospace need to obtain a permit from the state.
The license and permits regulate the activities carried out by the
company. The company has to act within the permit and license
provided to them. According to Petrescu et al. (2017),
regulation is used by the government to create monopolies of
the corporation, which affects other businesses negatively. Any
action which is not licensed is usually considered illegal, and it
attracts punishment to the company. Corporate taxes, which the
government imposes, may affect the corporation by reducing the
companies’ profits (Aspin 2016).
