Ok.
We all know how to work in this game, right? Its one of the first things you learn from Plato. Its a simple click of the mouse, and you've used up your wellness, and instantly gained money.
However, real life doesn't work like this. I have some simple things we can do to our economy that will create more jobs, increase retention.
Here's an idea:
Don't be afraid to give your workers real work
If you can task your employees with the right things, like taking surveys, initiating contracts with raw materials companies, and recruiting investors, you can make your company more like a real life company. Plus you can pay your workers for those things, increasing the flow of cash in our economy, helping make America richer.
Here are some sample tasks that can be done in a typical production company.
Reception Handles incoming PMs.
Accountants Handles paychecks of employees that are not covered by the eRepublik system
Salesmen Find out who is interested in your product, and convince people how your product is better (this will work a lot better in v2)
Human Resources Handles incoming and outgoing staff, handles job applications as well
The great thing about this is that it can be integrated into creating corporations, with branches in different places.
Imagine this kind of thing without the menstrual information!
This opens up a whole new dimension to capitalism, full of advertising, materialism, corporate fraud, stock exchanges, corporate image.
This in turn will open up the media industry, creating money for those who have lots of subscribers, as they will be paid LOTS of money to mention a specific brand.
Imagine this:
President PigInZen buys weapons from Lockheed Martin. Do YOU?
These are only suggestions though, I'd appreciate comments.
If you like this idea, go crazy and vote, subscribe and shout it. If not, don't.
Thanks

truemaxx.
we have a lot of the monetary and fiscal management here,
but very few business management.
Sounds like a good idea for V2. Large corperations use this to an extent, but it's less people and pretty much out of the public eye.

I would love to see a larger professional class in eRep. The real key to it happening would be a higher barrier to entry into business (the admins would have to make starting a new company MUCH more expensive) and allow for much more profit once that company is running. Good article, voted!
You can probably set up a decentralized cell corporation structure like real-life SAIC and use a centralized "holding company" organization to control the financial end of things, even with current game mechanics. The business world is pretty underreported in the eRep press, so there are probably things going on that no one really knows much about. My corporation operates mostly open loop, so feel free to take what you want from what gets published in our company newsletter:

Hmmm.
I'll make a test run of this idea out of my own pocket first, and see if it works. Anyone interested in helping can PM me.
