[quote=Anonymous][quote]Doesn't anyone else think it's very unusual for a NYSE-listed mega conglomerate not to have a fully-formed CEO succession plan in place? Given Logan's age and medical issues throughout the series, wouldn't the board and stockholders, particularly stockholder activists, have insisted on it?

I think one of the over-arching messages of this show is that hubris leads to destruction. If Logan and his acolytes had been responsible stewards of the corporation, they would have put ego aside and accepted that Logan wouldn't be around forever and would have undertaken the uncomfortable task of planning next steps in the event of his demise. But by appeasing his ego, the corporation now is left in uncertainty and is at the whim of some really self-serving and diabolical players. Seems like a cautionary tale for not hoarding short term personal benefit at the expense of the greater good.[/quote]

A TV show about a fully formed and executed succession plan would be quite boring to watch.  [/quote]
