Stockholders control and manage a corporation primarily through their voting rights, which allow them to elect the board of directors responsible for overseeing the company's management. They can influence major corporate decisions, such as mergers or changes in corporate policy, during annual meetings or special meetings where shareholder votes are cast. Additionally, stockholders can express their opinions and concerns through shareholder proposals and by engaging in discussions with management. Ultimately, their ability to buy or sell shares also provides a check on corporate performance, as stock prices reflect investor confidence.

The stockholders, who are the owners of a corporation, are served by the board of directors of that corporation. The owners of the corporation (the stockholders) have installed the board members to run the corporation and they, the stockholders, expect the board to operate the corporation in a way that is profitable. Profits are returned to the stockholders in the form of dividends, and the stockholders profits are a direct function of the number of shares each one holds. The shareholders pay the board members large sums of money (and include generous compensation packages, including stock options) for their efforts. The stockholders have a reasonable expectation that the board members will do their best to run the corporation smoothly and will make money, so a corporation's board of directors is tasked with looking out for the interests of the stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation.
