Common info
 
If the player qualification is fully utilized, qualification growth will be faster.
 
That is the ideal growth factor - when the company is working with 100% efficiency and full usage of a top manager capacity. However, there are the following additional factors to effect qualification growth:
 
management's growth is additionally evaluated by paid taxes of the company
 
commerce's growth is additionally evaluated by profit (paid taxes) of stores.
 
production's, mining and animal husbandry growth is evaluated by the quality of produced goods. Ideally, the company must produce high quality goods. At high levels of qualification, output quality should be equal to the average quality of the realm. For lower levels of qualification it can be lower.
 
Optimal growth of science is evaluated by the amount of technology inventions in the previous 15 turns and the sale of technology (not license) in the previous 15 turns.
 
agricultural growth has no additional factors;  growth only happens during the harvest season.
 
marketing's growth is evaluated by volume of advertising. Single volumes of advertising and / or the total amount of advertising must comply with the current level of player.
 
The ideal load - this is when top1 and top3 are utilized to the maximum.
~~~
 
What is top1, top2,  top3?
 
To run a subdivision with full efficiency, a suitable Top Manager qualification (Q) is required. A players qualification grows every day, according to a summary of factors from all subdivisions of the respective Q. One indicator is 100% efficiency at every subdivision, but there are other "invisible" factors which effect Q growth. Those are Top1, top2 and top3.
 
When the new qualifications system was introduced, those invisible factors Top1-3 were displayed at each subdivision for a while in a special window which looked like this:
 

 
Top1 - How much Top Manager qualification needed to manage the current settings (current staff number and qualification) in a single subdivision
Top2 - How much Top Manager qualification needed to manage the required settings (required staff number and qualification) in a single subdivision
Top3 - total number of staff for the whole company
~~~
 
How to achive growth from this table?
 
It's very simple - you must load your top manager at each unit and throughout the company.
Ie if the load is ideal, then the hiring of another employee, reduced eff. all units of the industry. If we increase the qualifications of personnel that eff. also decreases (only in this unit)
Conventionally, it can be represented as:
 

 
Note: You can artificially increase the qualification of staff, to the maximize load of top1
 
Is there a caveat - top1 and top3 can compensate for each other. For example, in this case, eff. will be 100%, although top1 overloaded (because top3 underloaded):
 

 
But, growth may will not be perfect (due to lack of load on top3)
 
Note: Overloading of top-manager are not recommended - reduce growth due to low eff. will be stronger than in case of low load.
Note: Easy way to maximize load on top1 - set the total number of staff to the values from this table, and then at each enterprise increases the qualification until total efficiency  starts falling
~~~
 
Bonuses from awards have influence to the growth?
 
Yes and noWell
For growth takes value of native top, but if the load exceeds its capacity, the bonuses help to avoid reducing the efficiency, and consequently - reducing the growth will not:
 

 
~~~
 
Which is better - a large subdivision, or lots of little ones?
 
For growth of top manager - no difference.
 
Example:
Qualifications of a top manager in the production = 7.
 
Situation 1: two units at 3500 workplaces (personnel qualification - 2)
Situation 2: 10 units at 700 workplaces (personnel qualification - 6,78)
 
In both cases, the load on top1 (for each unit) and top3 (the entire company) is the same.
 
In the former case, less salary costs and stress of the office. In the second case - have the opportunity to put more high tech, but the load on the office are much higher.
~~~
 
How additional factors affect the growth?
 
Only downward. Ie if your top1 and top3 not loaded, then additional factors will not be able to compensate for the low load.
 
Approximate calculation of growth is as follows:
1. Determine the base growth  (depending on workload top1 and top3)
2. If eff. unit is less 100%, then the base is reduced.
3. Multiplied by a coefficient of additional factors (eg, for managment and commerce can be reduced to 10 times) In best case coefficient = 1 (not reduces)

You need Q24 in commerce to manage this store or Q17 if you lower employees qualification to the required one. When Norway was introduced the requirements to employees qualification were defined higher than for other countries.

One more question. with commerce Qual 12 I can have total # of employees 1801 in my stores. at required qual 1.3 I can have 1000 in a store I guess. then why in the store below it tells me my top manager eff is not enough? plus how can I make this store service elite? I am already paying my employees max available pay.

In order to improve store efficiency you must raise top-manager’s qualification in field of Commerce.
Perhaps, your store has too many employees.
Top-manager’s qualification in field of Commerce may itself increase, in case if stores are stable and profitable.

I see that, actually I wanted the service level high, when I place the required number of employees I need to lower qualification of employees to be able to fit in the numbers and that reduces the service level to very low. any way, ı guess I need to wait untill the qualifications get higher

Where can I find the average quality for realm of a product (that I have to exceed for the optimal growth)? On the page like http://virtonomics.com/lien/main/globalreport/marketing/by_trade_at_cities ... , I see quality in local suppliers and in the stores - is it one of them?

Don't forget to pay enough taxes
management's growth is additionally evaluated by paid taxes of the company
Well

Hello all,
     I understand how to reach the 10th qualification in management according to the above mentioned table in normal condition. However is it same if I win a super manager (in quests) which gives you additional 2 qualification points during 10 days? Or should I jump over two steps in the table?
     I want to say that at the moment my base qualification in management is 2 (totally Q4 considering super manager) and I have 2 offices (8 w./ q. 1.00) + 1 office (4 w./ q. 3.06) as mentioned in the table. However my two offices with 8 workers indicate "Good safety factor" and "Excellent safety factor" therefore as I understand they are not utilized fully. So should I jump to 2 offices (28 w./q. 1.40) as if I had Q4 in management?
 
Thank you in advance Well

1. the above table is partly incorrect because there was a penalty introduced on the growth factor after it was created
2. The growth rate is according to your qualification (and efficiency of course) before the bonus. Super Manager allows you to temporarily hire more workers but you have to set back the Top1 and Top3 after 14 days.
3. The table above is flexible, instead of putting all workers into 1 or 2 offices you can put them into several smaller offices with higher qualification and higher quality equipment. Even you have a larger office there is some max. amount of workers you can hire in each subdivision. Example: you can't have a chicken farm of 1000 workers, you may use 10 farms of 100 workers.  But if you put these into the same country the admin load may not be sufficient. So what i recommend is to spread to more countries, it also comes in handy when you participate in contests.
Finally, i'd like you to focus on the qualification growth penalty, you want to win the 10 VIRT contest so you can "unlock" that growth penalty.

For every level you go up, your growth is slowed downby an extra penalty. This penalty is lifted when you spend points on raising qualification. Example: at a given point you have a penalty that slows your growth by an additional 20%. Then you decide to raise your qualification by spending game points. The penalty then is lifted. Your growth pace will increase by 25%. More precise numbers are available somewhere on the forum.
