A corporation is an institution that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members. There are many different forms of corporations, most of which are used to conduct business.

Corporations exist as a product of corporate law, and their rules balance the interests of its stakeholders: the management who operate the corporation; creditors who loan it goods, services or money; shareholders who invest their capital; the employees who contribute their labor; and the clients they serve. People work together in corporations to produce value and generate income. In modern times, corporations have become an increasingly dominant part of economic life. People rely on corporations for employment, pensions, goods, services, economic growth and cultural development.

An important feature of corporation is limited liability. If a corporation fails, shareholders normally only stand to lose their investment, and employees will lose their jobs, but neither will be further liable for debts that remain owing to the corporation's creditors.

Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like actual people. Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state, and they may be responsible for human rights violations. Just as they are "born" into existence through its members obtaining a certificate of incorporation, they can "die" when they lose money into insolvency. Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offences, such as fraud and manslaughter.

Although corporate law varies in different jurisdictions, there are five core characteristics of the business corporation:

Is a S corporate meeting document a legal document in court showing the price agreed on sale of business?
Q. I was in a business with someone else she agreed to buy my 50% of the business. A week before we settled the sale she told me to get the hell out of the business and that it was my problem because I wanted out of the business. She had made a verbal agreement and also we had dicuss a price at one of our corporate meetings. We are now going to court and I want to know if I can use this corporate paper as evidence in the trial.

A. Because you discussed a price, that does not mean in and of itself that she agreed to purchase it from you. In order to enforce that, you'll have to prove to the court that she agreed to purchase your half of the business. If she doesn't agree with that story in court, it's going to be your word against hers, and absent of any proof (a written agreement or her admission that she had agreed to purchase it), it's not likely the court will find in your favor.

What is the impact on Corporate social responsibility on companies and employees?
Q. Can you add more, agree or disagree with what I wrote? The search for Social corporate responsibility has roughly the following characteristics: Collective- Companies would not only have to report its performance to its shareholders, they would have to report it to its employees, media, the government and to the non-governmental environment and at last to the communities working in it. Companies would only have to gain the inclusion of its new social partners in the decision-making processes. A more participative dialog would not only represent a change of the company behavior but it would also mean more social legitimacy.

A. Totally disagree with giving information to anyone but shareholders. It isn't anyone else's business what a company does. They have no social responsibility but most will try to be decent citizens having a united way drive or something.
