W3C - Corporations in Simcountry

Corporations in Simcountry keep growing in size at a low pace. Up to 10% of the corporations increase in size by less than 5% each week (or two weeks).
In the process, these corporations become more profitable. Other corporations may also increase their turnover but the number of workers remains unchanged and the increase in turnover translates into more profitability.

The market value of corporations increased significantly in the same period and together with the appreciation of the value of game money, we think that corporate value of corporations, in terms of gold coins has doubled in the past several months.
We expect this process to continue for some time but most of it is behind us.

At the same time, the number of HLW is decreased across all corporations and mainly the number of HLW needed when the corporation is upgraded.
We have seen that the changing mix of workers and professionals in corporations during upg

Tom, one thing that has been bothering me...

What is the tangible advantage to any player of having high market value corporations? There is no trading of 1T+ SC$ corps (except maybe the occasional new player hostile bid done in error), and the shares of public corps seem to be sold mainly between Enterprises and Countries of the same player, so no overall gain to the account

I fail to see the reason for the satisfaction expressed by W3C in achieving these high corp values, increased profitability certainly, but value is virtually meaningless.

Please do point out something I may have missed.

Crafy

We intend to make it easier to sell corporations as virtual assets.
this could be inside and outside the game.

If the information on the corporation will include exact numbers on profit in the past weeks and months, in cash and percentages, it will become clearer what you can earn if you own the corporation.
we believe that it will create active trading in corporations. You invest in a high value corporation and it produces a profit which can be much higher than interest you can get for your money.
Same in fact for share packages that could in time become tradable in the same way.

A country with many highly valueable corporations that produce stable profits, will have a higher value.

The added Value adds to the assets the country has, raising the nominal value. I like the corps over 1T because if a player does hostile bid my corp he/she will pay a maximum penalty. If you trade shares are traded between a players ceo and country, there really isn't any downside to that either.

Sounds Good. Thanks for the info Tom.

high market value of corporations will definitely keep people from hostile bidding

it will also keep people from consensual bidding

the days of buying state corporations are probably gone now, why pay trillions for a corporation when you can make your own for like 80B?

I don't know where all this is going but I gotta say I like looking at this number in one of my CEO's

Total Market Value of all Corporations 1,040,975.09B SC$

Profits are up considerably too ... I like the changes.
