Talk:List of conglomerates

message: I do not understand the comment "List are largey superceded by categories" at the top of the page.  If you would like to explain why you think this page should be deleted, please do. But it makes logical sense to me to have a list of conglomerates attached to the conglomerate page. Poweron 04:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Wal-Mex be on this list?  It is owned by Wal-Mart.  Everything owned by Wal-Mex would be owned by Wal-Mart.  Having Wal-Mex seems redundant and pointless. Jwh335 (talk) 05:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: What was used to decide which companies make it on this wikipedia list? Is it a Fortune basis? there are no references. 
I don't this is a viable article as it. Really ought to be deleted at this rate. Lihaas (talk) 16:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

message: How is Dell a conglomerate? or Kodak, HP, Motorola, Sony, Nintendo, etc.. None of those are multi-industry companies. --Aizuku (talk) 12:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: True, although you could maybe argue that Sony has a conglomerate-like diversity of businesses. It seems some editors are a bit vague about the definition of "conglomerate". Letdorf (talk) 13:00, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some conglomerates aren't 

message: In order to more effectively edit the article, we ought to split it into continental articles and in some cases into lists of conglomerates by country. We did this successfuly with List of banks. When consensus is reached on spitting this article, I can do the work. Thanks. Fsmatovu (talk) 17:41, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposal to split article

message: I have noticed that Vivendi is classed as a US conglomerate as well as a EU one, and at the same time the page for the company states clearly it is a French company. Please move this to the correct section or give a definition of "nationality".
Please check also the ArcelorMittal Group as it shows a dual flag (Indian and British) which does not seem to represent very well its European origin (Belgium-French-Spanish for the Arcelor part).

message: I think people tend to view conglomerates as a corporation owning other corporations regardless of their industry.  
Maybe have a page of dictionary definition conglomerates (A corporation consisting of a number of subsidiary companies or divisions in a variety of unrelated industries, usually as a result of merger or acquisition.)  Then have a link to umbrella corporations that own many corporationss within their industry. Sitkaz (talk) 21:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Jardine Matheson was founded in China.  
They are incorporated in Bermuda.  
Their stock is priced in U.S. Dollars and trades on the Singapore exchange.  
So, why is this company listed under Hong Kong?
Because it is headquartered in Hong Kong.2603:9000:6505:52E1:3DEE:C286:7843:A5BF (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
