The directors are been elected to do the day to day running of a company, and because of their expertise and skills. After the broad of directors are elected of the shareholders they take over they responsible of the running of the company. Each share equals one vote, but in most cases small numbers of shares have little to say as in most cases large investors who hold the majority of shares have the power and saying in the company. The number of shares in one company, which equals 100% differ from company to company, and the price per share differ as well. There are two different types of companies: private limited companies and public limited companies.

A company is made up of stocks. The company then sells its stocks to people who are willing to buy it. A shareholder of a business is someone who owns part of the company. They own a stock of the company and in turn then they are somewhat in charge of that company and are invested in it. The old business motto is that a company must keep its shareholders happy and wealthy in order for a business to succeed. A shareholders investment needs to be maximized so they get the most value out of it. Since they are technically part owners of the company they need to be kept pleased. A shareholders return on investment is measured by the stock price of the company. Since the stock prices rises and fall every day the investment is always changing and the company is always trying to maximize it every day. Lynn Stout challenges this old motto in “The Shareholder Value Myth”. She challenges every part of this old motto and in fact she calls it a myth. In “The Shareholder Value Myth” Stout breaks down why the old way of doing things is not correct and she gives a

There is a Chinese proverb that a fish rots from the head. This statement underlies the importance of leadership in any organized activity. In understanding the dichotomy between shareholders and management it is critical to define exactly what the role of the shareholder encompasses.

Living close to Flint and being in Flint every week, reminds me of all the people that could use jobs in urban areas.

As I progressed throughout my years of school I tried so hard to find something I’m interested in that I would want to pursue when I graduated.

This past summer we settled on an idea of a skin care facility; not like a dermatologist office.
