cannot be held personally responsible for the corporation’s debts. (if you’ve invested a $100 you can only lose
a $100 when the company is in debt)

1.5 Agency Problems, Executive Compensation, and Corporate Governance
Agency problem= Managers are agents for stockholders and are tempted to act in their own interests rather
than maximizing value.
Agency cost= Value lost from agency problems or from the cost of mitigating agency problems.
Sole proprietors (owner=manager) versus corporation structure (owner≠manager)
Owner: maximize shareholder value, personal wealth = value of the business
Manager: maximize job security and power
Because managers act as agents of the owners (it is not their own money) and may be tempted to act in their
own interest, these actions are called agency problems
The agency cost is the value lost as a result of such agency problems
Agency problems can be avoided by aligning the various stakeholders’ interest:
Internal controls and decision-making procedures
Executive compensation schemes
Corporate governance
