There are three internal and one external governance mechanisms used for owners to govern managers to ensure they comply with their responsibility to satisfy stakeholders and shareholder’s needs.

Managers and shareholders are the utmost contributors of these conflicts, hence affecting the entire structural organization of a company, its managerial system and eventually to the company's societal responsibility. A corporation is well organized with stipulated division of responsibilities among the arms of the organizational structure, shareholders, directors, managers and corporate officers.

The idea of shareholder primacy dominates the business world today. An article from Harvard's school of business stated that shareholder primacy is so prevalent in the business to the mistaken fact that many individuals feel as though shareholders run the company from behind the scenes.This belief drives higher ups to run public firms with the great focus on raising the stock price. In the hope of maximizing shareholder value, this executive will sell key assets, fire loyal employees, and pressure the workforce that remains. Many individual directors and executives, Such as Lynn Stout, feel uneasy about these kinds of methods, stating that "a single-minded focus on share price may not serve the interests of society, the company, or shareholders themselves." The goal of this essay shows how and why Lynn Stout among other executives of corporate entities disagree with the idea of shareholder primacy.

An indirect control is when a company’s common stock is owned by one or more other companies that are all under a common control. Although the most common means of acquiring control are through majority ownerships, which means more than 50% of outstanding voting stock(s) are held, a company may still be able to direct the operating and financing policies of another with less than majority ownership.

Corporate governance includes all the rules, regulations, procedures and practices that guide a company in achieving their objective. Corporate Governance(CG) creates a support platform for a company’s stakeholders; the owners, the board, employees, the community and the regulators. Corporate governance policies are instituted to protect the interest of stakeholders through monitoring and controlling all management practices. Questions arise regarding the need to regulate corporate governance; if it is widely believed that good corporate governance leads to better financial performance, then firms would not need to be reminded to adopt these practices, however various recent company failures have revealed that good corporate governance practices are still lacking in many firms. The global financial crisis coupled with the fall of Enron, WorldCom and more recently the Volkswagen AG scandal in 2015 has led to high investor and society expectations regarding CG of companies.
