businessroundtable.org/ Corporations 101: The Basics of Corporate Structure. Check back soon for more on the inner workings of corporations. / businessroundtable
When we look at the organizational structure of corporations, the profits are a part of the equation. The connections with community are good for business... which is a part of many communities. The work comp boards and employee groups providing better context and real world impact... very valuable. Additionally, corporations and the trends toward more self insured health plans have a tremendous impact on the suggestions for health systems to collaborate with one another... the results are better communities and stake holders... The Value of better health for employees and families is hard to over sell. The reality of better health is better for communities and the investments from risk/investment pools... The better the connections and solid and attainable goals attainment over time. Good begets good. Benefits matter,

The organizational structure of most corporations is very similar. Many people might also be surprised to know that most corporations are not the large multinational behemoths with multibillion dollar revenues that we often see in the news.
Explain how corporate growth positively impacts the economy? What if you outsource all your working-class jobs, then the positive impact is only felt by the country your foreign workers reside in. What if all your higher salaried employees keep their money in other countries? Shareholders are just gamblers, yet the corporation serves them first before anyone else, which is why growth for growth's sake has become the modus operandi, a pursuit that can only end in monopoly. "employing millions? What if said millions are working 2 jobs & are still below the poverty line? Simply being employed isn't enough. North Korea has 100% employment for instance.
Corporations don't just provide jobs, but also resources, goods, and services to economies. More corporate growth = more goods and services and they still provide more higher paying jobs than small businesses. Also, why should an American be entitled to a certain job, when someone else from a poorer country is willing to work the same job for lower pay to better themselves. If I use profits to set up a foreign subsidiary to do the work that everyone hates to do anyways here in the US, am I a bad person. And that salaried accountant or financial analyst making a good 60 - 80k a year after going to college isn't storing their money in the cayman islands. Not even the CEO can do that because citizens have to pay taxes no matter where its made. And obviously someone working at Walmart and McDonald's is going to struggle more than someone who went to college. Growth doesn't even lead to monopoly. Where are you getting all this bullshit from
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.
@ehrahman 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.
Search for Joel Bakan's The Corporation documentary - the classic in social sciences and actually very highly respected by the business press and many top businesspeople. Then you will know what a corporation is, not by watching corporate propaganda like this.
This video is mostly accurate for many companies, especially smaller to medium sized ones, and those who are not part of subsidiaries. Not so small that they are private, like mom and pop shops, but small enough. What this model doesn't show you are the other factors and other ideas that can influence corporations, especially the larger ones. In a lot of companies, shareholders are relatively concentrated, a large number of small shareholders, only owning a few each, and a limited number of large shareholders. This divides the voting into blocs. Even technical data like whether the shareholders vote by cumulative voting, single transferable voting, or bloc voting, can make a significant difference. The chair and the CEO are also not the same person in most British corporations, they are usually the same in the US. The number of corporations with the CEO and chair as the same is declining, but most remain under this model. A lot of companies use proxies with a lot less accountability than would be desired for the small shareholders who can't be everywhere at once. Japanese corporations often hold their annual general meeting, when they elect the directors and get the main information, in rather isolated areas that can be expensive to travel to, limiting the ability of less well off shareholders to influence things. The German model goes even further, with a supervisory board focused on much more long-term thinking than boards of directors, and who must approve much of the larger contracts and budgets, and usually having a large number of members on the supervisory board are workers, half by law for very large corporations, at least 30% I believe for medium-sized corporations. They appoint the executive board, usually picks their chair and CEO (the board usually picks the remaining C level officers) who are usually different people. And in large parts of Continental Europe, labour unions have far greater power than in the US, in Denmark about 70, as opposed to less than 20% in the US, a large part of the latter are employees of the state, not corporations. The Nordics usually have the state outside of the arbitration process, in the Dutch and German more Boulder model, they are usually involved with the negotiations in a tripartite system. Corporations often have power struggles that can turn it a bit like the way that separates an elite nobility and their power struggles from the Leninist system, where the elite are much more subservient to the ruler because they are much more easily replaced than under the junta/monarchy system. It depends on the exact configurement and the exact ratios you see, and the personality of CEOs and others. Cooperatives give a strictly equal voting share per person, the vote weight you get is not affected by how many shares you have, one human, one vote. Cooperatives may have capital revenue based shares, which can affect how much of a dividend you get (I deem that appropriate, you put in the effort with your money so you get money back, not votes), but you only get one vote, just like everyone else. Franchising also means that a lot of the risk is transfered to local franchise owners. They get a good cut of the revenue, with some going to the central company and their suppliers like Coca Cola and Heinz. It means that their power struggles are contained within a legally separate company, they don't affect the central corporation. The state also affects this. Because certain governments suppress labour unions, it's simply cheaper to work there. The risk of being associated with sweatshops is very minimal when you have few influential shareholders you can pay off. For companies like McDonalds, road design and urban planning makes non fast food competition difficult. Trademarks, patents, and copyrights are essential to almost all major businesses and the ability to create oligarchical relationships between them and the vast majority of society. Roads are designed to make large economy of scale transport easy, and exporting labour easy, and makes competition from those who refuse to outsource labour less powerful, and companies don't pay as much as they contribute to the costs, enough that the smallest non franchise businesses and cooperatives have a harder time. Personal benefits like advanced education and university, healthcare plans, etc, of course help to make power as concentrated as it is, but the fundamental structure of winning coalition (how much to have a majority of the board and those who elect the majority of the board on your side), the selectorate (shareholders and in some cases the more regional managers and similar positions who can influence the board, those who could replace the disloyal from the winning coalition), and the disenfranchised (everyone else) and the state's provisions to companies is the key to understanding the ways that corporations work.
This is like the exact opposite of a conspiracy theory film. Whether a video exhibits on extreme point of view or the other, by leaving out the negative aspects, this video has little credibility and is likely backed by some self interested entity attempting to perpetuate it's point of view.
In America, Corporations should not be allowed to own land outside of the State where they were incorporated. Corporations should not be allowed to own other corporations. Corporations should be heavily taxed on imports and exports between other countries. Corporations should never receive taxpayer money from the government for any reason. Corporations should not be allowed to pay any money to political candidates or to government at all, except as taxes. If Corporations can deduct expenses that keep them "alive", so should citizens. My food, housing, utilities clothing, etc. should be just as tax-deductible as the needs of a Corporation are.
why Corporations should not be allowed to own land outside of the State where they were incorporated. Corporations should not be allowed to own other corporations. Corporations should be heavily taxed on imports and exports between other countries ???
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.

IT didn't mentioned about the possible lose or bankruptcy of the company or corporation which in result would deplete the share of the investors.
