Abstract
The concept of corporate control depends on the scope of application. For instance, an economist may reveal corporate control through the economic power over the corporation, and a lawyer through corporate rights. At the same time, the legal doctrine has not developed a dominant approach to the definition of corporate control. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the origins of the doctrine of corporate control in foreign and Russian science. The author in the article summarizes the key positions of scientists on the issue under discussion and identifies the difference between the domestic approach and Western legal systems
