Solution

The correct statements in the context of large corporations are:

  • Large corporations employ managers to represent the owners’ interests and make decisions on their behalf.
  • The shareholders elect the board of directors.

The first statement is incorrect because it's the shareholders who elect the board of directors, not the managers. The board of directors then hires the managers.

The last statement is also incorrect because in large corporations, the owners (shareholders) are usually not involved in day-to-day business decisions. These decisions are typically made by the hired managers.
