Question

Suppose you decide (as did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg) to start a company. Your product is a software platform that integrates a wide range of media devices, including laptop computers, desktop computers, digital video recorders, and cell phones. Your initial market is the student body at your university. Once you have established your company and set up procedures for operating it, you plan to expand to other colleges in the area and eventually to go nationwide. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, you plan to go public with an IPO and then to buy a yacht and take off for the South Pacific to indulge in your passion for underwater photography.

1. What is an agency relationship? When you first begin operations, assuming you are the only employee and only your money is invested in the business, would any agency conflicts exist? 2. If you expanded and hired additional people to help you, might that give rise to agency problems?3. Suppose you need additional capital to expand and you sell some stock to outside investors. If you maintain enough stock to control the company, what type of agency conflict might occur?4. List three provisions in the corporate charter that affect takeovers.5. Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?6. What is block ownership? How does it affect corporate governance?7. Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance.

Answer 1

The solution can be defined as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, there are multiple choices that are defined, in which except the first three choices other are belong to a different topic, that's why we define only three choices.

In option 1:

There can be relationships between both the organization or managers as leaders assign making decisions with managers. This same relation could lead to conflicts between both the parties concerned. The said conflict is named an issue/confrontation agency. The confrontation between both the supervisors and employees and between owners and creditors may also exist.

There would be no dispute with both the department. Its reason for this is that organization conflict may occur unless the business owner does not hold 100% of the common stock of a corporation.

In that case, they will manage the operations of your company as the sole employee. Users will have the right to obtain all revenue earned from the company. It will keep owning 100% of a greater corporate share because you put the money in the company. There have been no external agencies that borrow. There will be no chance of every confrontation.

In option 2:

Yeah, once you recruit people to take on responsibilities or give them their proper decision-making authority, the conflict and you and your workers will occur. Disagreements may well be caused by differences of opinions or even by the sharing of profits you would have the right to receive when you operated together.

In option 3:

\Yeah, it can result in conflicts with the organization to hold shares out to buyers. Scandals among shareholders and managers and between borrowers and shareholders and between management, shareholders and debt holders may arise as a type of conflict.
