Answer 1

Corporate governance refers to various policies, practices and rules which are used for controlling and directing a firm. It endeavors to balance the interests of several stakeholders in a firm such as shareholders, management, employees and clients.

Grubhub has maintained solid system for corporate governance, whereby the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the management. The firm also has several committees and sub-committees such as Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

The Board of Directors is selected by the executive team as well as the shareholders by the way of voting

Shareholders are considered the owners of a company and they are eligible to exert control by exercising the voting right on their shares. The appointment, dismissal and emoluments of directors are all governed by shareholders through their voting privileges. Similarly, founders of the business are also entitled to such rights through their shareholding. However, they do not have rights beyond the privileges accorded by their shares.
