A lot of it also has to do with class of shares, voting rights, how the company ownership is structured (preferred shares), etc. Also foreign corporations have a whole other set of laws. It's not as simple as Toyota only owns 17% therefore they don't have the ability to make decisions for the company.
Anyway, we probably shouldn't get sidetracked into a discussion about financial laws and definitions, it's kind of a tangent to the point of the thread.
