[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it dragged a little tbh. Also, and this really bothered me: giant corporations don’t have to all of a sudden draft a statement when their old CEO dies. You don’t think Fox News has a very clear plan for what happens if Rupert Murdoch dies in a bathroom? Of course they do! The idea that anyone would be scrambling or improvising made no sense. The scene with Kerry was the best scene. Both on the plane and getting into the car. [/quote] This actually rang true to me. The whole point of the show is that Logan wouldn’t admit to himself that he would ever die and couldn’t bring himself to do proper succession planning (even after almost dying in the first episode). If it ever came to Logan’s attention that someone else was making plans for what happened after his demise, it would be the end for them. Everyone at the company had to participate in his delusion that he was immortal. The first episode of this season, in the conversation with Colin, was the first inkling that he was actually considering his own mortality. [/quote] Yes, agree. For a normal company, it would be unheard of to not have any plans in place. But Logan was delusional that he was immortal. The only question I have about that (not a business expert) is - obviously, with a family owned private business, he could or not do whatever planning he wanted. But aren’t they a publicly traded company with a board and associated accountability? In that case, I do think he would have been forced to not leave it all open. I wonder if his will will similarly cause a lot of issues. [/quote] They're a publicly traded company. Towards the end of the show Roman shows the stock price on his phone. Logan doesn't get to pick in his will who his his successor, the board does. So it is important who controls the board votes. [/quote] I know Logan doesn’t get to pick. But he can leave his shares to an heir, which can tilt the balance of power on the board. [/quote] Has anybody been keeping a spreadsheet with voting shares? There's an official board of directors page on the "company website" https://waystarroycompany.com/board-of-directors/ I want to see fictional economic analysis (a la the Logan Roy obituaries) where they speculate the possible ripples in a board shakeup. [/quote] I would love this too [/quote]
