llliability llfor llinvestors, lltransferability llof llownership, lla llseparate lllegal llpersonality llof llthe

llcorporation, lland lldelegated llcentralized llmanagement. llThese llfour llattributes llprovide

, llreputational lldamage llfrom llnot llacting llin llshareholders‘ llinterests. llAnd llmanagers llcan llbe
llfired llby llthe llboard llof lldirectors ll(elected llby llshareholders). l l If llmanagers llstill llfail llto llact llin
