As a corporation shares may be sold to the public to raise funds. Corporations avoid the problems associated with partnerships in that the latter is not reliant upon a set of individuals to function and avoids the problems associated with the death of a key partner. Key partner insurance can be obtained but at a cost that reduces the profitability of the organization. Corporations also can absorb lawsuits without endangering the personal liability of the share holders. A partnership is subject to lawsuits that directly hold individual partners monetary damages.

Social institutions like corporations can contribute to the emergence of social problems by prioritizing profit over social and environmental concerns, leading to exploitative labor practices, environmental degradation, and income inequality. Their pursuit of profit can also influence policies and decision-making that may perpetuate social inequalities and exacerbate existing social problems.
