A corporation is controlled by a board of directors, a CEO and a management team. However, the goal of a corporation is to maximise the wealth of shareholders, and in doing so increase the price of their stock.

tl:dr:

Raising stock price is the goal, board controls decisions

So true regarding the above answer. Let me add as a minor edit that in certain situations, such as a proposed buy out or merger with another company, the stockholders are usually asked to vote on such measures.

addition; a corp is controlled by one or more stockholders who own a real or effective majority of the stock, they hire a board of directors who hires a CEO. In many cases the board members are selected with the approval of large institutional investors who have a large percentage of the stock. Sometimes a number of larger minority stock holders will join together or enlist smaller investors in proxy action to exert their control.
