Most of my corps are in countrys with 0% tax

To profit do i have to have my Productivity and Quality to the max?

Should i advoid some industrys

I reckon you should max upgrades. Dont try to sell at too high a mark up. Very few corps are absolute losers, most can be made to work. Avoiding weaons, not ammo, is prob a good idea atm. Remembering that different things can be made on different worlds.

And look to the line that shows cash transfers, if its negative then your CEO is sending money to corps to keep them afloat. Sort those corps out or close them.

As close to 100% hiring as possible is important too, within reason, I wont push wages too high just to get 100% hiring, I would rather move/close.

Look at other top CEOs and check how they do it, alot is about having corps in your own countries which can not necessarily show great profit in the CEO but really helps the country out. Depends on your personal strategy.

Also 0% taxes has no effect on corps losing money. Taxes only reduces profits. If your corps are losing money then it is better for them to be in countries with better conditions. You can always suggestions to countries that you are in. Presidents seem to really trust CEO's and so if you ask them to boost education or health they will probably oblige
