IBM had this problem.  It became too top heavy.  This happens when the company has too many managers and too few people to carry out the work.  Stress levels increase and you end up with a huge attrition rate of the people that actually do the work.  Yet the managers are "proactive" and keep hiring people to do the work.  Projects run over budget and the managers blame the work-force.  They never see that they are top heavy till it is too late.  Think how much bigger IBM would have been!

Thanks to Big Blue and their being the pioneers in "downsizing", this is a common scenario nowadays. \n\nSpread the workload as evenly as possible, ask for and pay attention to their input and implement ideas worthy of consideration where possible. BE HONEST if at all possible. Understand that workers today are wearing several hats and stress is so thick in the workplace it can be sliced up for sandwiches. Reward loyalty and do not encourage suckups.

First of all work out the current expenditure and income, also look at past patterns.\n\nThen work out, if the company increases such and such - how much will income rise, if they have to spend or invest - how much will expenses rise....\n\nThat's it - that's a forecast

Too much of a corporate liability

Redundant employees get fired\nIf you have factory working 24 hours a day at 50% of capacity in Company A and another factory working 24 hours a day at 50% of capacity in Company B you modify one to also produce whatever the other factory is producing and you increase the production to 100% and close the other factory. \nYou usually sell parts of the company that you don't want. For example when Pfizer bought Warner Lambert. They bought it because the wanted the drug business and they sold the Chiclets Adams to another company.\nPolitics change in the acquired company. Some companies has properties and some companies lease properties. If the big company leases and small company owns then they start selling all the properties (And after they have sold they pay rent to the new owner)

The number one thing is to think of what the COMPANY'S needs are, and try your best to fill those needs.\n\nThink about problems the company faces and try to help solve them.  This doesn't have to be big stuff like global financing and distribution problems, it can be little things like making a list of nearby restaurants that deliver so that when people need to work at their desks through lunch break there is a way for them to order food.\n\nBe proactive, participate in meetings and show that you are trying to help the company avoid possible problems before they become problems.\n\nBe very honest with yourself about your strong and weak points.  When you identify something within your job requirements that you are not very good at, ask your supervisor who in the company IS good at doing this thing, and go learn from that person.

Depends on how the company is structured.

CHALLENGES:  different attitudes, tolerance, desire for makeup; different business culture; lack of name recognition; perhaps lack of category recognition; perhaps intolerance of foreign business owners (depending on country); reliability of supply network, retail outlets, promotional media, etc.\nPROSPECTS: potentially less competition, at least initially; potentially cheaper sources of production, distribution; potentially opportunity to grow market AND market share.

Conceptually, this is a simple task.  Identify the business unit's core process while simultaneously identifying the problems with it.  Determine the problem with either the greatest ROI (if cash is immediately required), maximum visibility (if you need to establish credibility), or least risk (if you doubt top management support) and fix that one first.\n\nIn reality, this is very difficult if not impossible for someone inside an organization to do because of questions about management support, access and control over available resources, political resistance, etc.

I worked in 4 companies in the last 15+ years, without leaving my room - one company acquired and other and so on.\n\nWhen a company is acquired, there is always vulture shock, reorg, some layoffs. Some people leaves just hearing about a larger company coming in. There were cases the acquiring company raised our salary just to keep key persons in place.\n\nIn general, there` are no rules how acquisitions and transitions are handled.\n\nGood luck anyway!

Your main worry seems to be "stability". It can mean many things. If working in the new agency gives u the same "stability", u shld go.If not, it all depends. U seemed pretty confident that u can take on the world. If u r concerned about the disruption to your set family routine, u'll have to weigh the pros n cons. U'll also have to consider the additional responsibility with the birth of your 3rd child. If it concerns the stability of the company, u shld know better as u r in the industry.

Our company has been in business for 30 years, so that's not a problem.  But in your case, I would indicate the most recent financials you have and specify that your company was established in 200? and additiopnal financials are not available.  The company sending out the RFP will understand what this means...
