Genesis
Industrial & Transport revolution brought radical changes in the system of production &
commerce
Change in scale of prod & change from national to international markets Sole Traders &
firms as forms of orgs ceased to exist & joint stock companies emerged
Reasons for Emergence of Company orgs
1 Limitations Of Capital –acted as a bar for expansion a company org could tackle this
2 Problem of management
- Not possible for a single ( proprietary ) or few Partnership org to manage efficiently
Division of labor imperative , ensures proper allocation of duties & specialized
management
professional management demands separation of management & ownership
3 Burden Of Risk & Liability
Expansion involves huge risks & uncertainties as prod is based on anticipateddemand
Unlike sole proprietorship /partnerships a joint company has wide distribution of
risks

Facility of Transfer of Ownership –
-A share of the company is a moveable property & is transferable as laid down in the articles of the
company . A member enjoys statutory rights to sell his shares , & get it transferred in the name of
the buyers on the company's registers of members
If the company has listed its shares on a recognized stock exchange they enjoy a ready ,
continuous & open market . Thus its shares become liquid assets readily convertible into cashFree transferability & good marketability of shares & debentures are considered distinguishing
features of a company in relation to sole traders or firm wherein both features are absent
Large membership ---
The share capital, of m a public company can be raised by any number of persons there being no
upper limit
A share may have a small denomination 25 / - the total amount collected can be very large., The
amount of issued capital & number of shares however governs the max limit of membership in
practice
Capital Mobilization
The combination of ( 1 ) limited liability ( 2 ) transferability of shares 7 ( 3 ) unlimited membership are
responsible for making company orgs a very effective instrument for mobilizing vast amount of
capital for quick industrialization & accelerated economic growth
Distribution of Dividends
The profits of a joint stock company are annually distributed as dividends amongst share holders

Disadvantages of company orgs
1 Elaborate & complicated formation --- Procedure of company promotion & formation
complicated requiring specialists like promoters , underwriters , share brokers . Cost of
floatation is very high
2 Fraudulent Management -- formed by unscrupulous promoters & directors who may exploit
property & assets for making personal profits at the cost of share holders . This danger is alwayspresent when persons in charge of management are called upon to manage the third party's
property & assets
3 Concentration Of economic Power & Wealth
--The share owning democracy or peoples capitalism may be a theoretical advantage of company
form of org . . The diffusion of ownership does not even democratize ownership in practice .
Widening of the investment market may not avoid concentration conc. of economic power in afew hands . This is on account of share holders who behave like sleeping partners & rarely take
interest in affairs of the company
Thus instead of democracy there is conc. of power in the hands of a few . The insiders with only 20
% of capital control management .
This pyramiding of control can be seen in a holding company with a capital of 10 lakh control
number of companies with capital over 3000 lakh
The Indian companies act 1956 /74 has provided measures to break the conc. of economic power &
liquidate the oligarchy of directors . Final solution lies with share holders

4 Reckless spending on Stock exchange
The securities of the company are listed on the stock exchange primarily to establish continuous ,
open , & wide market for them & to provide necessary liquidity or marketability to them
However unscrupulous speculation & temptation of management to trade on inside info for persona
benefits the shares are manipulated .
The stock exchange at such times becomes a gambling place & can not act as an agency for promoting sound & stable investment
Securities Contract act 1956 has provided measures for controlling speculation but it depends on
the authorities of the stock exchange & top agencies of management
5 Excessive legal Control
Public limited companies including holding companies are very strictly regulated & controlled by
legislation at all stages .
Companies Act provides severe penalties for defaults in the fulfillment of various provisions of the
Act
Also Monopolies & Restrictive Trade Practices Act also controls & regulates Monopoly orgs .
Necessary form protecting the interests of the share holders
6 Conflicting Interests
Employees demand higher wages & consumers expect lower prices & better quality . Share holders
yearn for ever rising dividends
, preference share holders want stability even at the cost of progress whereas equity share holders
are the votaries of progress even at the cost of stability . Difficult to satisfy such diverse interests

7 Absence of personal, Interest & personal element
Unlike sole trader /partnership orgs there is separation of ownership from control. In company type
of orgs there is representative management
Lack of commitment from salaried management may lead to waste & inefficiency . Also due to lack
of direct relationship between effort & reward . Can be addressed by giving bonus or commission

Preference Shares
8/14/2019 BOM Lesson 6 Company Org
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bom-lesson-6-company-org 10/30
Preference Shares
These share holders enjoy a preferential or prior right over equity shareholders to the profit of a
company .
They are entitled to a fixed of dividends after paying interest on debentures & before any dividends
is paid to equity share holders
Preference share are classified as
a ) simple or non cumulative ---people holding such shares are entitled to a fixed of dividend only in
the year in which profits are made . They get the dividends before it is paid to other type of share
holders
b ) Cumulative preference shares --- entitled to a fixed share of dividends even when there are no
profits in any year . These claims will stand as arrears to be paid first out of subsequent years profit
before it is paid to other type of share holders
C ) participating preference shares --- The holders of such shares are paid a fixed rate of dividend
before it is paid to other classes of share holders . They are also entitled to participate in the balance
of profits , in a certain proportion along with equity share holders after reasonable claims of these
equity share holders are met .
d ) redeemable preference shares --- capital raised by issuing such shares must be paid back after
certain period either out of profits or by raising fresh capital by issuing new shares or by sellingsome of the assets of the company .
The preference share holders do not enjoy voting rights . However they have a prior claim on the
assets of the company in the event of its liquidation
Deferred Shares

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bom-lesson-6-company-org 11/30
Deferred Shares
They are called promoters or managements or founders shares . The holders of such shares are paid
dividends last out of the profits left after meeting the claims of ordinary & preference share
holders & the reserve funds
Normally issued to the promoters of the company but they may also be issued to the public . If
dividends paid to other classes of share holders is restricted the deferred share holders will
enjoy a bigger share of the profits . But if no profits they do not get anything
The deferred share holders special or preferred voting rights . But Indian companies Act 1956 has
eliminated the system of issuing deferred shares by public limited companies . However a private
limited company can issue deferred shares
Sales of Bonds or Debentures
Debentures --- A company may also raise additional finance by borrowing from the public for aspecified period of time say 15 to 20 years , at a particular rate of interest . This is done by
issuing bonds or debentures .
A Debenture is an undertaken by a company to repay the borrowed money on or before the
specified date at a particular interest rate , irrespective of profit or loss made by company
The capital raised by selling debentures is like taking loans from the public . Hence a debenture
holder is a creditor of a company with no voting rights . As such he cannot directly interfere withthe activities of its management
A debenture may be classified as secured / simple Secured debenture is secured against assets/
property . simple debenture is not secured against assets or property at a ratio fixed in advance
A company is also free to issue convertible debentures which can be converted into equity shares
after a period of time say 5 to 10 years at a fixed ratio in advance

effective by org
Systems approach gives a comprehensive meaning to cooperative societies
“ a cooperative society is defined as an enterprise formed & directed by an association of users ,
applying within itself the rules of democracy & directly intended to serve both its own members
& the environment or the community as a whole . It draws resources from the environment & it is
naturally expected to fulfill the needs & desires of the environment as it is an integral, part of the
community
Based on the two definitions in essence a cooperative org always prefers ( 1 ) profit maximization ( 2
) cooperation ( 3 ) Self help & self reliance instead of undue & unwanted dependence on externa
bodies which are always tempted to exploit the situation in their self interest ( 4 ) development
of moral character in stead of pure material development
Distinctive Features Of Cooperative Orgs
1 Spirit of cooperation ---Every member works in org interest . Service is of primary imp & self
interest is secondary
2 Unity –
3 Common Interest can be economic activity such as agriculture , trade , finance , manufacturing
4 Economic democracy & democratic management --- Ensured by one man one vote , irrespective
of the value of contribution all have same rights ,privileges & responsibilities . A member with
only one share can become president . Gen management is honorary
Open membership --- Any adult is eligible . One share enough to become a member
8/14/2019 BOM Lesson 6 Company Org
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bom-lesson-6-company-org 19/30
Moral Emphasis ---In the absence of capital invested emphasis is on integrity & honesty , In the
absence of any tangible or ,material security . Selfless workers instead of profiteering &
competition provide service & sacrifice
Absence of dividend Hunting Element & fair return on investment -----
In cooperatives there is no dividend hunting . In a consumer store , return of income on the sharecapital is fixed & usually not more than 12 % per annum
. This surplus profits are distributed in the form of bonus or dividends but it is directly connected
with the amount of purchases by member in one year . Linking of dividend with the annual
purchase is a novel, principle of consumer co operatives
. Gives double advantage ( 1 ) every member is compelled to be loyal with his store & not go to
outside retailers ( 2 ) leads to automatic increase in sales & profits w/o ads & publicity .The store can thus secure max business as each member will max purchase to secure higher share
in profits
In capitalistic orgs dividend is linked with the amount of investment in shares
Cash sale ----In a cooperative org “cash & carry sys became a universal feature . In the absence of
adequate capital grant of credit & locking up of working capital was not feasible . Cash sales avoided
risks due to bad debts
Corporate status --- has to be registered under separate legislation “ cooperative societies Act .
Every society must have at least ten members . Registration is desirable as it gives a separate legal
status to all cooperative orgs, just like a companyt. It also gives exemptions & privileges as per the
Act
Procedure for Registration
8/14/2019 BOM Lesson 6 Company Org
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bom-lesson-6-company-org 20/30
There must be at least ten adults to form a co operative society ( 2 ) The application for registration
will provide all essential info ----- like name , aims & objectives of the society , particulars of
the share capital etc ( 3 ) Application will be duly dated & signed by at least ten members ( 4 )
along with the application duplicate copies of bye laws i. e rules & regs governing the internal org
&management of the society ( 5 ) The registrar after the scrutiny of the application if satisfied may
issue under his seal & signature a cert of registration & the society will now become a separate
legal person just like a company ( 6 ) the society must have its own common seal which acts as its
signature . ( 7 ) once the society is registered it can admit new members & also issue shares .
Management of co operative orgs
Same as that of a company . It has a governing council or a Board on which the members elect their
representatives each year .
One man one vote is the rule . Routine matters are looked after by a working committee consisting o
a few members of the governing council . The office bearers are ( president – VP , secretary &
Treasurer
