Bullshit.

SDC is a corporation. Control is stock. Stock can be divided at will.

A CEO reports to the board of directors. The board of directors is controlled by the shareholders. In this case, the Schnee family, which controls the majority of the stock. They may themselves sit upon the board. They may even appoint one of their own as CEO.

Or it could be run entirely differently. This is generality. There could be three people of equal rank who must come to consensus. There could be any number of organizational methods.

Nor, in your poor example of monarchy and aristocracy, is primogeniture the only method. It could be an elective monarchy, like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or the Holy Roman Empire, ultimogeniture, or any number of other succession laws.
