Corporate group (sociology)

A corporate group is two or more individuals, usually in the form of a family, clan, organization, or company.

[1] In social political theory, corporatism refers to organisation of society by designating the individual into corporate groups, whether by force or voluntarily, to represent common interests (usually economic policy) in the larger societal framework.

For example, social corporatism and corporate statism divides society by capitalist, proletariat and government, and sometimes even further.

The degree to which these interest groups are autonomous parties in collective bargaining is crucial in the placement on the spectrum between syndicalism and fascism.

In social psychology and biology, research shows that penguins reside in densely populated corporate breeding colonies.
