Proposal for Improving Asset Management Convenience During M&A

Post by stockrpg »

Currently, during M&A activities, there are often many overlaps between the acquired company’s assets—such as factories, retail stores, and R&D centers—and the acquiring company’s existing operations. However, manually demolishing or reorganizing these assets one by one is extremely tedious and time-consuming.

To improve convenience, I propose adding new features such as The ability to select and demolish all factories at once Bulk selection and removal of specific business units like retail stores or R&D centers, An option to exclude entire business units and acquire only selected assets such as technologies.

These improvements would significantly streamline the post-M&A asset management process, allowing players to focus more on strategic decision-making without undermining the immersive experience of the game.

Perhaps this could be broken down into the following, on merging a company:

- All R&D Centres where there are overlapping research projects will have them listed to the player, with an option to bulk cancel the duplicate projects, demolish the R&D Centres or no action at all.
- All factories/farms making duplicate products with no overlap with your supply chains are listed (with option to demolish).
- In general there should be a consolidated list of all new acquisitions rather than just a series of alert messages.
