Congrats CEO.

You've been promoted to the head of a company. Any company. You can make any changes you want to said company, or just sit back and count your money. What company do you work for?

Coca Cola.. sit back, count money, donate money to the poor, donate water bottles to those in third world countries.

Honestly, I don't know, though. There's a lot of responsibility on a CEO and I'm not sure where I'd start.

Maybe Disney and get them to stop hashing out terrible films and do it the right way like Pixar's golden age.. but then I'd also have to be in charge of everything else they own too. Man all of it is a lot to manage.


I'm not sure! Haha!!

Disney. Get rid of those horrible shows and those lame teen Disney stars and bring back Disney to their roots of the Golden era and the Renaissance Era.

It's funny how tons of average joe people got awesome ideas. But doesn't know how to run a business. And the people that DOES know how to run a business got the the most lame ideas ever :P

Oh, how ironic the business life is.

Idk, maybe I'd be the CEO of WWE. I'll cut out all the drama, and just broadcast the real action.

I'd run Coles, the company I currently work for.

I would re-teach them that it takes money to run a business (they seem to have forgotten) and therefore cutting staff hours is not the answer to their imagined financial woes, but instead should make their prices more reasonable.

Choice Hotels International.

I'd dump their economy brands (Rodeway/Econo Lodge), focus on getting rid of a lot of underperforming Quality Inns (shrinking the chain's size but ensuring the remaining hotels are the nicest in the brand), return Clarion to being an upscale brand, and streamline things across the board (The last two Quality Inns I stayed at hadn't even upgraded to flat-screen TV's yet!). I'd also stop their plans to outsource their call center.

I mean, current CEO Steve Joyce, he's a nice guy, even appeared on Undercover Boss, but I don't think the company has been enforcing quality control as much as they should be.

I think a chain-wide mandatory renovation project might be necessary as well.

I'd like to be CEO of The Onion. Mainly because it'd provide an outlet for some writing ("Hey, you! Save me 3 column inches in the next edition or you're fired!"), but also because I'd feel there'd be less institutional pressure at the top than, say, larger companies like Apple/Pixar/Studio Ghibli. Working for them would also be great, but there'd be so much pressure on you as a CEO to keep profits up that that part of the job would probably eat away at all the fun parts, depending on how long you'd be there for. But maybe I'm just slightly cynical...

It'd be Apple. *waits for collective groan from entire forum*

I'd deal with their supposed labour abuses (if they exist), make iOS open source, and stop trying to kill jail breaking.

Before anyone asks, no I would not lower the price of anything, nor would I let you run OS X on PCs! >:(

I've been getting really addicted to Dr Pepper lately. Not a day goes by where I don't drink one of those bottles they have in vending machines of Dr Pepper; usually two a day. Because of that, I'm going to choose Dr Pepper.

Hmm. I'd be CEO of the Pokemon Company / Gamefreak. I've always wanted to make my own game in a format that others can buy and enjoy, so that would be awesome. Or I'd probably be CEO of large gaming companies. xD

I think I'd like to be the CEO of a massive retail chain like Walmart or something, a position that would allow me to better the lives of millions because I'm not a greedy jerk.

Probably Sprint so I can tell them to sit down and point out all the things they're doing wrong, which is essentially everything.
