    In the corporate form of ownership, the shareholders are the owners of the firm. The shareholders elect the directors of the corporation, who in turn appoint the firm’s management. This separation of ownership from control in the corporate form of organization is what causes agency problems to exist. Management may act in its own or someone else’s best interests, rather than those of the shareholders. If such events occur, they may contradict the goal of maximizing the share price of the equity of the firm.…

    The Saloman Principle

    The central technical-legal question surrounding the modern nature of the company is this: how did the company come to possess the traits of distinct legal personality which it enjoys today? The answer to that question is simple at one level: the decision of the House of Lords in Saloman tells us that companies have such distinct personality. That answer is perfectly correct, so far as it goes. One thing that should strike any reader of that decision, however, is the evident certainty among the members of the House of Lords that they were right. Their…

    The Supreme Court Held that “a corporation is an artificial being created by operation of law, it owes its life to the state, its birth being purely dependent on its will”. It is logically inconceivable therefore that it will have rights and privileges of a higher priority than that of its creator. More than that, it cannot legitimately REFUSE to yield obedience to acts of its state organs, certainly not excluding the JUDICIARY, whenever called. It is not immune to judicial control in those instances, where a duty under the law as ascertained in an appropriate legal proceeding is cast upon it.…

    But boards of directors need to pay closer attention to the behavior of management and the way the company is making money. In too many American companies, board members are expected to approve what management proposes-or to resign. It must become acceptable and mandatory to question management closely. There is little chance the U.S. governance rules will be changed to make boards responsible to the employees as well as to the shareholders. However, board members would be foolish not to pay more attention to how employees and customers and business partners are treated. These greatly affect the long-term value of the shareholders'…

    We've seen that the financial manager acts in the best interests of the stockholders by taking actions that increase the value of the stock. However, in large corporations ownership can be spread over a huge number of stockholders. This dispersion of ownership arguably means that management effectively controls the firm. In this case, will management necessarily act in the best interests of the stockholders? Put another way, might not management pursue its own goals at the stockholders' expense? In the following pages, we briefly consider some of the arguments relating to this question.…
