Companies and corporations

Companies are a very important part of a country’s economy. Businesses produce goods and services, and they come in every shape and size. Although the vast majority of the world’s companies are small, in many countries the economy is dominated by large firms. Large businesses differ from small ones in a wide variety of ways. In many countries there are nationalized companies belonging to the state, as well as private companies. A private company might be a small firm with just one owner or a very large firm with thousands of shareholders ‘owning’ the firm.
In very large firms the shareholders have very little to do with the day-to-day running of the firm. This is left to the management. Large companies may be organized into several large departments, sometimes even divisions. The organizational structure of some companies is very hierarchical with a board of directors at the top and the various departmental heads reporting to them. Often the only time shareholders can influence the board is at the yearly shareholders’ meeting.
Some firms may only produce one good or service. Others may produce many different products; in fact they may seem to be like a collection of ‘businesses’ inside one company. As a company gets bigger it may expand geographically. Many large firms are multinationals with manufacturing plants and trading locations in several different countries spread around the world.
