Who in the fuck thinks this makes sense for a company? Zaibatsu, conglomerate, multinational corporation... whatever; if you're training to run a cutthroat top-tier mega-corporation, then why the fuck do you have ZERO INFORMATION about the people around you?!

Not even the amount of information you'd have for a marriage interview?!
What kind of bullshit company doesn't have any kind of information available on your business rivals and potential allies?
Fucking ridiculous.
