• Transferability of ownership
• Limited liability of the stockholders
• Ease of raising capital

hold ultimate power. Shareholders elect the board of directors who in
turn appoint officers. The board elects a chairperson (CEO), who is
usually the most powerful person in the organization. The board
designates the president (COO) and various vice presidents.
