Yes they can actually.

If you are a shareholder you can either sue (unlikely to succeed) or vote against the board. That's pretty much the only recourse.

Or you could sell or just threaten to sell your shares.

Buying more of the company's shares to take it over is another option.

Good luck doing that with Google.
