股份是把公司资本(成资金)总额按相等金额分成的单位;股份制既是一种企业组织形式,也是一种社会化产权组织形式。股份制最早产生于17世纪初的欧洲,19世纪后半叶广泛流行于各国。在我国,最早出现股份制的公司要算是上海平淮股票公司了,那是在1882年。自1956年社会主义工商业改造后便销声匿迹了。近 Shares are units in which the total amount of company capital (capital) is divided into equal shares; the joint stock system is not only a form of corporate organization but also a form of social property rights organization. The joint-stock system was first produced in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century and widely spread in various countries in the latter half of the 19th century. In China, the earliest share-holding company was the Shanghai Pinghuai Stock Company, which was in 1882. Since 1956, the socialist industrial and commercial reforms have disappeared. near
