Forbes Corporate Warrior HintMe File
Byron Preiss Multimedia Company, Inc.
By John Mayo-Smith, August Yang and Marcos Mendell
These are some hints and tips that may help your enjoyment of this game
1. Some competitors are best left alone.
2. Be careful when you sell your stock. Chances are, you won't be able
to afford to buy it all back.
3. The PAC shield can kill you if you leave it on for too long. Watch
your cash!
4. Sometimes the only way to face an enemy is from behind a shield.
5. Remember to meet your customers demand. This will make them happy
and help your stock price at the same time.
6. Remember, you have until the 4th quarter to meet analysts'
expectations.
7. Pay attention to your news ticker. Events can cause changes in your
stock price and your customers' demand.
8. Don't forget, competitors respond to weapons differently. A penny
saved is a penny earned.
9. It wouldn't kill you to answer the videophone once in a while.
10. If you're short on cash, try selling stock or raising debt.
11. You don't always have to kill your competitors to win.
12. Pay attention to your competitor's marketshare.
13. Scan before you shoot. There are some markets you may not want.
14. The Legal Laser is a good way to give yourself some breathing time.
15. Use the big radar to get the big picture.
16. Click on the PDA lying on the desk to view a snapshot of your
financial profile.
17. Buying and selling your stock is OK; insider trading is not.
