Corp 101: The Basics of Corporate Structure

[noblebearaw]

Cool stuff. When are further installments in this series being released?

Corporate structure is politically agnostic and they like anything else can be used for good or bad.

We need that structure to power our economy. If one feels animosity toward that model

my suggestion is find a corporation that produces products or services you believe in and invest in them.

No corporations = no internet, no computers, no cars, no central heat and air and the list

goes on. Non profits that make things you like or believe in, can only exist in a world populated by for profits.

Also, I think I should add that I rather enjoyed the balance in perspective which this gives to the media's incessant corporate-bashing.

Intel is a corporation.

Google is a corporation.

You used their products to write your inane comment.

Indeed, a video about basic corporate structure making absolutely zero political points is "corporate propaganda."

Such ignorance cannot be natural, it must be educated. I mourn for your educators for doing you such a disservice.

a lot of open ended information..."a lot of people -shareholders- invest and prosper"- yeah, sure 'a lot', many, many people i know they can not affors to become a 'honored' ,"distinguished" shareholder. the fact it's that not many people can be in full potential to decide about corporation future/managemant.

this it's just propaganda.- i'm a independent living in California. I was borned in Costa Rica. i'm not republican neither democrat- just independent...this is my opinion.

josemiguel141, it's true that most people can't afford to become an influential shareholder. However, we can buy and sell stock based on our feelings about what a company does or the way it's managed. If enough people feel the same way we do, the company will feel our influence.

Not every company that is publicly traded has a majority of its stock owned by a single person.

Look at HP: Carly Fiorina was opposed by Walter Hewlett, son of one of the founders, to merge with Compaq in 2002. Other large shareholders opposed the merger as well. Still, a slim majority of shareholders approved the merger anyway. Shareholders of HP also sent Fiorina packing when the merger didn't pan out so well.
