I do not think this feature works correctly at the moment.

Well, not entirely true, they can be used to great effect IF YOU USE THEM AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED. Too many people try to use them like real-world shares, and the game simply isn't set up that way (yet?).
I wish others would reply to this thread, as I know of several corporations that have and are using shares for a variety of functions.
Here's the skinny:
1. You can pay dividends to both members (people in your corp) and to all shareholders (anyone owning your shares, in your corp and not).
2. Corp members with shares get a 'share' of votes.
3. Of concern, any corp member with the correct amount of shares and corporate rights can oust the CEO.
Pretty much any other discussion will be based around these 3 topics, especially #3.
Some corps use shares are an internal trade currency, some use them as rewards, etc.
It really is up to you to come up with a creative way to use your corporation's shares to the benefit of both the corp and its member/shareholders.
Hope this helps.

How do you pay dividens? * Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit. This is the fine point on which all the legal professions of history have based their job security. Bene Gesserit Coda |

My corp uses them well. We hand out shares to members who have been with the corp for some time then we give out dividens every time we hit a certain landmark amount of isk.
This rewards our members and spurs them on to help the corp get to those targets.
When a player leaves the corp he can keep the shares or sell them back to corp for lump sum.
One problem is that if someone leaves the game you cannot remove the shares leading to a loss of isk to the cosmos!

The problem with shares is...
if someone who leaves your corporation has some, they keep them. So every time you pay out dividends, that player gets a cut. Not ideal for a corporation with an ex-member that left on bad terms.
edit: heh heh, just re-read the post before mine. I guess that was already covered.
