Here is the story.
If you look way way beyond the horizon, you will see a little world,a little world called simcountry. And in that little world things are much like home with countries,wars,disasters and corporations.
Now we are not going to discuss all of the countries of this little world. No we are only going to discuss one. Bambaro on Lu.
Things seemed to be going well in Bambaro. Population was booming,there were plenty of hospitals,roads,train tracks,schools and we were making a small profit. The people were happy. We reached level 2 and thought we had this thing in our back pocket.
So in striving for more success we decided to change our sale strat to mach some of the better financial rulers in this world. Wow more profit. We are really moving now! So then we decided to change our Buying strat. Of course, this was going to make us even more successful.
!!!BUT!!!!

Yeah, you gotta watch the whole ordering system.
I had a similar experience when I started re sale strategy. When I began i didnt change any settings from defaults and didnt have any enterprise/public corporations in my country to copy. Soon, i started raising my selling price, by 25% a time. All my produce was selling in the first month. Eventually, I bumped all the way to market price + 100%. Things stopped selling. I got it pretty quick, and now sell at market price + 100% with a -25% per month unsold. Everything gets sold in the first or second month.
I also have something like 50% of my supplies sourced from within the country, so I never suffer shortages on most items required by corporations.

Leave taxes at 0% unless you are trying to get rid of your CEOs.
Profit sharing won't change your profits. All the revenue of a state corp gets to you eventually.
I've gotten good results with salaries around 600 to 800. Ideal salary depends on the product and market conditions. But on LU the market is mostly in severe shortage so high salaries will generally do better. In a lot of your corporations the salaries are 1/3 of your fixed property cost. Over half of the salaries come back to you as taxes. Higher salaries increase production.
It looks like you deactivated your military 13 months ago. Notice that the cost of you military dropped from 36 million to 26 million but the usefulness dropped to 0. Of course in your secure country the usefulness may have always been 0. Since you don't have many medium level managers you won't be able to activate the batteries even if you want to.
