Shares in a company might be purchased for several reasons.  Shares are sold as an investment, or as a means of acquiring a stake in a company. Buying shares in a company is also a way to  take control of a company. Control of a company by ownership of shares allows the owner of the shares to exert  influence over the management of the company. The ownership of shares in a company does not confer any proprietary rights in the assets owned by the company upon the shareholder .
