We're trying something with our corp shares to help reward people for corp work, and encourage our members to invest in the corp. Basically, we've set a share price, and all members can buy shares either through a direct purchase or through "work product" (MOs etc). 51% of shares are kept with the CEO.
Few questions, though:
1. What happens to shares if a character is deleted? Do we go from 1000 to 999 shares if the character had one? Or, when we pay out weekly dividends, does that money disappear into a vacuum?
2. How do other corps use shares? Does anyone use them? Do you use it just for votes? Or are they all in the CEO's hands?
Thanks!

I can't tell you about what happens in the case of someone deleting their character. I can tell you that shares can not be transferred once issued. Ever.
Even if the corporation is completely and utterly disbanded you will still have some of thier shares.
We use shares to:
A - Allow member ownership and empowerment. They truly vote their opinions. And we use the voting interface to handle a variety of voting topics.
B - Member Security. No one has more than 10% of our corporate shares. Not even the CEO. (can't really since once given he can't give them back). Members with 10%+ share of a corporation can not be summarily ejected. And since no one person has the "juice" to outvote everyone else.... it's security.
C - Dividends for us is issued at the end of month based on the approval of the stockholders. An amount is specified by management as being available and the voting commences. Since all of the stockholders are active participants in the day to day operations they vote intelligently.

A corporation should be a dictatorship. Not some silly democracy where low grade drones can influence the politics.
Keep on flaming, lamers.

Hmm, Shar Tegral, that actually isn't true. Shares can be given back and forth, as I have done it several times. :) If anyone from CCP reads this, it would be nice if the "Give Shares" ability defaulted to 1, rather than the max of all your shares. I have, on more than one occassion, given all the corp's shares to an individual. Oops.
To give shares back, open your wallet (or the corp wallet, depending on where you want to take them from), click the "Shares" tab, and then right click the shares and click "Give"
FYI :)
I will delete a character and see what happens.

Is there a way to vote stock back from an individual?
While unrealistic to the real world, we offer stock options to each member so they own a portion of the corporation. Our directors and officers hold more to retain corp ownership but we like including everyone in decision making as well as offer up monthly dividends to help our lower skill point players out financially.
My question, is if a player just decides to quit eve for a while, say 6 months. Is it possible to vote on revoking his/her shares, then when that person returns re-issue them?

avoid emitting real shares. create a ghost corp, emit shares from there explanation : an investor going above 5% ownership can hit run for CEO button in that case, you're pretty much screwed. during time of vote, no roles, nothing ------
