This depends on the circumstances, but as a general rule if the board of directors have power under the company's articles to make the decision, and (as would be usual) there is nothing in the company's articles giving the shareholders power to immediately overrule the directors, the answer is "not directly".
Shareholders determine action to be taken by the company, from election of directors to approval of corporate actions, by voting and normally each share allows one vote. Thus if a person owns fifty shares, that person has fifty votes, if the person has sixty shares, that person has sixty votes.
However, shareholders do have some power over the directors although, to exercise this power, shareholders with more that 50% of the voting powers must vote in favour of taking such action at a general meeting. One of the main powers that the shareholders have is to remove a director or directors.
Director Elections For many shareholders, although technically in ultimate control over the company, there is no practical authority. Perhaps the greatest shareholder power is control over the composition of the board of directors.
Shareholder power depends on the level of ownership As such, a shareholder with only 10% of the voting rights and no influence over other shareholders would in practice have much less power over the company than its board of directors.
The owners of a corporation are its stockholders, and the owners, at least in theory, can do almost anything they want, including firing members of an incompetent board of directors. There are many obstacles, but it can be and has been done.
Shareholders can be Directors and Officers but need not be. Officers can be Directors and vise versa...but, again, need not be. Since Shareholders elect the Directors and Directors elect the officers, it is apparent that Shareholders hold the ultimate position of authority in a company.
Common shareholders are the last to have any debts paid from the liquidating company's assets. Common shareholders are granted six rights: voting power, ownership, the right to transfer ownership, dividends, the right to inspect corporate documents, and the right to sue for wrongful acts.
The shareholders can vote to remove directors from the board before their terms expire, with or without cause, unless the corporation has a staggered board. The shareholders can then vote to replace the directors they removed.
The shareholders are the most powerful body in the company and in general controls the composition of the Board of Directors of the company. The decisions by the shareholders are taken by passing resolutions in the shareholder's meeting.
