The primary focus of attention is a study of the modern business corporation, both publicly held and closely held, including the organization and financial structuring of the corporation; the allocation of control among shareholders, directors, and officers; the responsibilities of management and controlling shareholders; and the issuance of shares. Alternative forms of business associations, such as partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies, are also touched upon.
