- Una Corporació és una persona jurídica que consisteix en un grup de persones que han format una associació sense ànim de lucre o amb propòsits comercials. Aquesta associació formal, reconeguda com a persona jurídica i emparada pel dret de societats, té els seus propis privilegis i responsabilitats diferents a aquells dels seus membres. Hi ha moltes formes de corporacions. Així, una corporació pot ser un ajuntament, una universitat, una església, una ONG, una empresa, un gremi, un sindicat o un altre tipus de persona col. lectiva. Majoritàriament i per contaminació de l'anglès aquest terme s'utilitza per referir-se a una empresa o negoci de responabilitat civil limitada que té una personalitat separada a la dels seus membres i que pot estar en mans privades o de l'estat.

- A corporation is created under the laws of a state as a separate legal entity that has privileges and liabilities that are distinct from those of its members. There are many different forms of corporations. Many corporations are established for business purposes but public bodies, charities and clubs are often corporations as well. Corporations take many forms including: statutory corporations, corporations sole, joint-stock companies and cooperatives. An important (but not universal) contemporary feature of a corporation is limited liability. If a corporation fails, shareholders may lose their investments, and employees may lose their jobs, but neither will be liable for debts to the corporation's creditors. Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like natural persons ("people"). Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state, and they can themselves be responsible for human rights violations. Corporations are conceptually immortal but they can "die" when they are "dissolved" either by statutory operation, order of court, or voluntary action on the part of shareholders. Insolvency may result in a form of corporate 'death', when creditors force the liquidation and dissolution of the corporation under court order, but it most often results in a restructuring of corporate holdings. Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offenses, such as fraud and manslaughter. However corporations are not living entities in the way that humans are. Early corporations were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature). Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration. In addition to legal personality, registered companies tend to have limited liability, be owned by shareholders who can transfer their shares to others, and controlled by a board of directors who the shareholders appoint.
- Una corporación o sociedad corporativa es una entidad jurídica creada bajo las leyes de un Estado como una entidad legal separada que tiene privilegios y obligaciones diferentes a la de sus miembros. Esta asociación formal, reconocida como persona jurídica y amparada por el derecho de sociedades, cuenta con sus propios privilegios y responsabilidades distintos a aquellos de sus miembros. Hay muchos tipos de corporaciones, la mayoría de estas es utilizada con fines de lucro. Así, una corporación puede ser un ayuntamiento, una universidad, una iglesia, una ONG, una empresa, un gremio, un sindicato u otro tipo de persona colectiva. En la práctica, dicho término se utiliza, primordialmente, para referirse a una entidad comercial, establecida de acuerdo a un marco legal. Un importante estilo contemporáneo de una sociedad es de responsabilidad limitada. Si una empresa falla, los accionistas podrían perder sus inversiones, y los empleados pueden perder su empleo, pero no se hace responsable de las deudas a los acreedores de la corporación. A pesar de no serlo, las empresas son reconocidas con los mismos derechos y responsabilidades ante la ley como personas físicas ("gente"). También pueden ejercer los derechos humanos contra las personas y el Estado, y pueden ser responsables de violaciones a los derechos humanos. Las corporaciones son conceptualmente inmortales, pero que puede "morir" cuando se "disuelve", ya sea por operación de ley, orden de la corte, o una acción voluntaria por parte de los accionistas. Insolvencia puede dar lugar a una forma de empresa "muerta", cuando los acreedores fuerzan la liquidación y disolución de la sociedad bajo una orden judicial [4 4], pero por lo general da lugar a una reestructuración de la corporación. Incluso ser condenadas por delitos comunes, como el fraude y homicidio. Sin embargo las empresas no son entidades vivas en la forma en que los seres humanos. [5 5]
- Une corporation, dont le mot vient du latin corporari (se former en corps), ou plus exactement un corps, est une personne morale, en général de droit public, instituée par une loi. Ses composantes sont toutes des personnes physiques et/ou morales qui possèdent une même caractéristique (en général l'exercice d'une fonction). On peut distinguer les corps (ou ordres professionnels) non seulement des sociétés, des associations et des syndicats qui sont des regroupements volontaires de droit privé, mais aussi des établissements qui sont des groupements de biens, et de certaines sociétés qui ne sont pas des sujets de droit mais des contrats entre les sociétaires. Le corporatisme désigne la tendance qu'ont les membres d'un corps professionnel ou administratif à privilégier leurs intérêts matériels au détriment de ceux du public qu'ils servent (consommateurs, administrés, justiciables, usagers, élèves, clients, patients, etc.).
- Vállalatnak nevezzük a törvények alapján megalapított, jogi személyként létező társas vállalkozást, amelynek alkalmazottainak létszáma és üzleti forgalma ezt az elnevezést indokolja. Viszonylag állandó szervezeti keretet ad a gazdasági tevékenységeknek,belső struktúrája valamilyen munkamegosztás alapján alakul ki. Egyének munkahelye, munkavégzés helyszíne is. Gazdasági erőt képvisel számos külső érdekelttel tart fenn kapcsolatokat, ezért a vállalaton kívüli körülmények alakításában is felelősséget visel. Mindemellett jelentős szerepe van a vállalatoknak a közfinanszírozási forrásokhoz való hozzájárulásban. Az érdekek közül kiemelkedő a vállalat profitérdekeltsége, ezért a vállalatokat üzleti vállalkozásoknak is nevezik. A vállalat alapítói és/vagy tulajdonosai lehetnek magánszemélyek, más vállalkozások vagy maga az állam.
- Nel diritto e nella ragioneria la società è l'esercizio in forma collettiva dell'impresa.
- コーポレーション（英: corporation）は、英米法の概念。1人又は2人以上の自然人又は法人を社員とする法人である。省略記号は「Corp. 」。body corporateともいう。法令において特別な定義がなされることも多い。 本来的な意義においては、営利・非営利を問わず、例えば、国王、司教、高官、地方自治体、慈善団体、株式会社なども含まれる。
- 주식회사(株式會社, Corporation)는 사원, 즉 주주의 권리·의무에 관해서 세분화된 비율적 단위라고도 할 주식을 발행해서 각 주주는 그가 갖는 주식의 인수가액(引受價額)을 한도로 출자의무를 지는 회사이다. 주식회사는 사단성(社團性)과 법인성(法人性)이 뚜렷한 회사로서 주식으로 세분화된 일정한 자본을 가진 회사이다. 각 주주는 회사의 채무에 대해서 직접의 책임은 없으므로 주주의 개성은 문제가 아니며 회사의 신용의 대상은 회사의 자본뿐이다. 이러한 이유에서 주식회사는 물적 회사라고 불린다. 주식회사는 ① 자본단체이며, ② 자본은 주식발행에 의해서 모아지며, ③ 사원은 유한책임(有限責任)이라는 것을 그 특색으로 한다. 주식회사를 표기할 때는 특수문자 ㈜ 로 표기하도록 하고 있다.
- Een bedrijf is een organisatie van arbeid en kapitaal. Een bedrijf dat gericht is op het maken van winst wordt veelal een onderneming genoemd. Een bedrijf dat tastbare producten maakt wordt ook wel een fabrikant genoemd.
- En entreprise er et bygge- eller anleggsoppdrag på fast eiendom etter byggherrens planer og prosjektering, med entreprenøren (som skal stå for oppføringen) og byggherren (på hvis eiendom og i hvis interesse byggingen skal skje) som parter. En entreprenør vil kunne være både de store entreprenørfirmaer og en byggmester, murer, rørlegger, elektriker eller fagfolk innen andre tekniske fag. Større leverandører innen slike fag, kalles ofte tekniske entreprenører. Skal en entreprenør ha ansvarsrett som utførende etter plan- og bygningsloven, kreves normalt at entreprenøren har sentral eller lokal godkjennelse. Det finnes tre norske standarder for entreprisekontrakter: - Delentrepriser, hovedentrepriser, generalentrepriser. - Totalentrepriser - Enkle bygg og anlegg. Delentreprise: Byggherren engasjerer selv arkitekt og rådgivere og inngår selvstendige kontrakter med flere entreprenører. En av entreprenørene får ofte ansvar som administrerende sideentreprenør. Hovedentreprise: Byggherren engasjerer selv arkitekt og rådgivere. En entreprenør har den vesentlige delen av bygget, men byggherren engasjerer f. eks. tekniske entreprenører selv. Generalentreprise: Byggherren engasjerer selv arkitekt og rådgivere, men kun en entreprenør som igjen har kontrakt med alle de andre entreprenørene. Totalentreprise: Byggherren har kontrakt med en entreprenør som igjen har kontrakt med arkitekt, rådgivere og samtlige andre entreprenører. Hvis oppgaven går helt fram til komplett innredning og evt. møblering, benyttes begrepet ”turn-key” (”nøkkelferdig”).
- Korporacja - rodzaj organizacji (społecznej), zazwyczaj posiadającej osobowość prawną, której istotnym substratem są jej członkowie (korporanci). Na kontynencie amerykańskim terminem tym określa się duże, rozgałęzione przedsiębiorstwa, często o charakterze międzynarodowym. Członkostwo osób jest tym, co stanowi samą istotę korporacji, bez członków korporacja nie istnieje. Przy tym członkostwo musi mieć charakter względnie trwały i uregulowany wewnętrznym prawem danej korporacji (w tym znaczeniu korporacją nie jest np. zgromadzenie publiczne). Korporacja zazwyczaj zarządza sprawami swoich członków, w takim zakresie w jakim działają oni jako jej członkowie. Konkretne uprawnienia członków poszczególnych korporacji, a także ich struktury organizacyjne i zakres działania zależą już od określonych rozwiązań przyjętych przez ustawodawcę. Początkowo mianem korporacji określano gildie (średniowieczne) i cechy rzemieślnicze a potem stowarzyszenia studenckie. Etymologicznie wyraz korporacja pochodzi od łacińskiego corporatio oznaczającego związek; połączenie części. Korporacjami prawa cywilnego są np. stowarzyszenia, spółdzielnie, związki zawodowe, a korporacjami prawa publicznego - np. gminy (o takiej korporacji mówimy, że jest przymusowa bo nie ma w niej swobody aktu woli członków co do rozpoczęcia lub zakończenia przynależności; do danej gminy przynależy się z mocy prawa przez sam fakt zamieszkiwania na jej terenie). Potocznie mianem korporacji określa się także samorządy zawodowe. Organizacja typu korporacyjnego przeciwstawia się organizacjom typu zakładowego, których istotnym substratem jest składnik nieosobowy.
- Corporação (do latim corporis e actio, corpo e ação), é um grupo de pessoas que agem como se fossem um só corpo, uma só pessoa, buscando a consecução de objetivos em comum. Num sentido amplo é um grupo de pessoas submetidas às mesmas regras ou estatutos, e neste sentido é sinônimo de agremiação, associação ou ainda empresa. Num sentido mais estrito é uma pessoa jurídica (diferente de pessoa física) que possui direitos similares a uma pessoa física, mas sem se confundir com a natureza desta última.
- Корпора́ция — юридическое лицо, которое, является объединением физических лиц, но при этом функционирует независимо от них. В широком смысле под корпорацией можно понимать всякое объединение с экономическими целями деятельности. Юридическое отделение корпорации от её участников даёт ей преимущества, недоступные другим формам объединений, например обществам с ограниченной ответственностью. Конкретный правовой статус и правоспособность корпорации определяется местом её создания. Учредители и/или предприниматели часто создают предприятия в форме акционерных обществ и, поскольку в настоящее время эта форма предприятий преобладает, термин «корпорация» применяется как синоним термину «акционерное общество». Хотя корпоративные права варьируется в разных юрисдикциях, есть четыре признака корпорации: Юридическое лицо Ограниченная ответственность Свободная продажа акций Централизованное управление советом директоров
- Ej att förväxla med kooperation Korporation är en benämning på en sammanslutning som erkänns som juridisk person, till exempel ett företag, en organisation, eller en förening. En korporation skiljer sig från andra sammanslutningar av människor, genom att dess existens fortfar att finnas även om människorna som utgör dess kollektiv träder ur. För att en förening skall betraktas som korporation krävs att den har stadgar. Särskilt i äldre tider betraktades skrån, gillen och andra yrkesgrupper som korporationer, varifrån begreppet korporativismen kommer.
- Корпора́ція — товариство, спілка, сукупність осіб, об’єднаних на основі цехових, кастових, комерційних та інших інтересів; назва акціонерного товариства, яке об’єднує різні галузі промислового виробництва за єдиного фінансового контролю. Також корпорації — це договірні об’єднання, створені на основі поєднання виробничих, наукових та комерційних інтересів, з делегуванням окремих повноважень централізованого регулювання діяльності кожного з учасників. Діяльність корпорації базується на використанні акціонерного капіталу, тобто капіталу вкладників, за який вони придбали цінні папери — акції цього підприємства. Корпорації, сфера діяльності яких — весь світовий ринок, називають транснаціональними. Корпорації посідають особливе місце серед великих підприємств і об’єднань. При цьому їх найбільш важливою і відмітною рисою виступає капіталотворча функція, завдяки якій створюються передумови збільшення обсягу і ступеня використання обмежених ресурсів. Корпорація — поширена в країнах з розвиненою ринковою економікою форма організації підприємницької діяльності, що передбачає часткову власність, юридичний статус і зосередження функцій управління в руках верхнього ешелону професійних керуючих, які працюють за наймом.
- 股份公司，或股份企业、股份制公司、股份制企业，均指由两个或以上个体持有公司股票份额的企业组织形式。在股份公司的形式下，股份是企业组织（公司、合伙制企业）的所有权凭证。股份公司通过公开、非公开的方式发行股票，通过经营、投资、财务融资等方式创造利润回报股东；而股东则可以出售手中股票，将代表自己对公司所有权的利益转让给其他人。近现代各国公司法都对股份公司的组织形式进行了界定，在法律学视角下，股份公司由于其法律定义和组织形式的特点，往往和“法人组织”、“有限责任”属于同义词，因此股份公司基本上是以股份有限公司的形式存在。但在一些法律上没有界定“有限责任公司”的地区，股份公司可以以无限责任公司的方式注册。但在美国，无限责任公司依旧可以被称视为股份公司的一种。

- A corporation is a separate legal entity that has been incorporated through a legislative or registration process established through legislation. Incorporated entities have legal rights and liabilities that are distinct from their employees and shareholders, and may conduct business as either a profit-seeking business or not for profit business. Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature). Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration. In addition to legal personality, registered companies tend to have limited liability, be owned by shareholders who can transfer their shares to others, and controlled by a board of directors whom the shareholders appoint. In American English the word corporation is widely used to describe large incorporated businesses. In British English and in the commonwealth countries, the term limited company is more widely used to describe the same sort of entity while the word corporation encompasses all incorporated entities. In American English, the word company can include entities such as partnerships that would not be referred to as companies in British English as they are not a separate legal entity. Despite not being human beings, corporations, as far as the law is concerned, as legal persons have many of the same rights and responsibilities as natural people do. Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state, and they can themselves be responsible for human rights violations. Corporations can be "dissolved" either by statutory operation, order of court, or voluntary action on the part of shareholders.

In addition to legal personality, registered corporations tend to have limited liability, have shareholders who own or hold shares of a type of security commonly called stock, and are controlled by a board of directors who are, in theory, elected or appointed by the shareholders.
