[net.games.frp] Seeking knowledge of FRP companies

Does anyone on the net have a working knowledge of the insides of gaming
companies?  Such as, what are the structures of these companies?  How many
people does each employ?  What are the estimated or actual income figures?
How many of each particular title does each sell?  What sells the best, games
or scenarios?  What is the preferred method of distribution?  Is the particular
company part of a parent company? Does it hold interests in other companies?
How long has the company been in business?  What is the growth rate of the
company?  What percentage of the market does it control?  What markets does
the company cover?

Any information is appreciated.  I would like facts, but near guesses are also
appreciated.  Even if you heard the information from a cousin of a friend of
your neighbors, the information would be valuable to me!  I will soon begin
working on my MBA/JD degree and am considering doing a thesis on the 
structures and organizations of leisure-time oriented companies.

Thanks in advance.....
