​​The Future of Waystar Royco: Navigating the GoJo Acquisition and the Question of Succession

 

Logan Roy built Waystar Royco, the world's largest media conglomerate, from nothing, and he has no intention of letting anyone take it from him, whether that be a Swedish tech billionaire, a hostile board, or his own children. Delegates will take their seats as members of the Waystar inner circle: family, executives, and board members summoned to an emergency session as an incredibly lucrative acquisition offer from GoJo and its CEO Lukas Matsson forces the board to consider selling the firm. With growing pressure to announce an official successor, Logan Roy (the chair) is in a position of deliberation, thinking hard on who he deems worthy to take over the firm, or whether he deems anyone worthy at all. Sale or no sale, every board member shares the same ambition: Come out on top. 

 

The committee will deliberate on matters of corporate politics and finance, set in the world of a media conglomerate akin to Fox or NBC: Backdoor deals, planted stories in the news, and corporate espionage are staples in the cutthroat world of Succession. The question of who controls the world's largest media conglomerate hangs over every session, so play your cards wisely.
