Company directors have been in existence for more than four hundred years. In the past, they were considered to be a necessary part of corporate existence, and were usually appointed to a board by the CEO or chairman. However, they were usually mates from the 'boys club' and gained their position from whom they knew, and not from what they were capable of contributing. The appointment of independent directors became more normal, as shareholders looked for a way to wrest control back from management. But what independent directors really do and why they are there is not widely understood. A review of the literature relative to independent directors has identified a gap in the knowledge. This gap is the role of the independent director when considered from a commercial aspect; that is, those who observe or write about independent directors. --This thesis has attempted to generate a theory of the role of the independent director through a review of the literature and a subsequent series of interviews. Grounded theory was the chosen methodology for analysing the data and formulating a theory of the role because it allows the researcher to ground the theory in the data instead of establishing a hypothesis and testing it. --The resulting theory is more complex than it first appears. It was found that the primary role of the independent director is to improve the performance of the board and the company. This role is impacted by a number of factors, the two most influential being the information that is available to the independent directors, and the position of the company. This second factor is defined as the size of the company, where it is in its life cycle, and whether it is experiencing any significant change. --These findings enable a number of recommendations to be made to improve policy and practice, recognising the impact of information and company position on the ability of independent directors to contribute positively. It also raises several areas of further study to continue to refine the understanding of the role of the independent nonexecutive director in Australia. These include, among others, investigating the role from other viewpoints such as the board chair or company secretary, or researching the link between company position and information available to independent directors.

Full textThe dissertation is devoted to theoretical and empirical analyses of organization and effectiveness of boards of directors, and role and independance of directors in French large corporations. Literature review of corporate governance is provided in chapter 1. The second chapter examines how large shareholders affect the composition of outside directors on boards of directors in French listed firms. We find that the second large shareholders tends to be related to a lower presence of independent directors, and a higher presence of affiliated directors on the board. The third chapter addresses the reciprocal interlocks between the CEOs in 245 French large corporations. The fourth chapter analyzes the effects of board composition and ownership structure on the formation of monitoring committees in French large corporations, considered as a good indicator of board effectiveness

Based on data of listed non-financial companies on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and Taipei Exchange Markets covering the period of 2008~2017, this master thesis examines the linkage between Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance (DOLI) and Resignation of Independent Directors. Existing research has documented the effect of DOLI on corporate performance and other economic consequences, but among them has rarely explored the impact of DOLI on the resignation of independent directors. While greater degree of DOLI coverage may protect independent from litigation risk and result in lower degree of independent director resignation, greater degree of DOLI coverage may imply and cover higher firm risk thus result in higher potential resignation of independent director. In the thesis, six proxy variables is employed to proxy the extent of DOLI coverage, and the resignation of independent directors is measured by three proxy variables. Through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression estimation, the empirical result is that the degree of DOLI coverage is positively correlated with the extent of independent director resignation.

It is directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O insurance) which the government promotes enterprises to insure currently. One of the aims of D&O insurance is to empower enterprise to hire outstanding independent directors. However, there are rarely literatures to discuss about this. The public disclosed information on D&O insurance in Taiwan provides us with an opportunity to explore the relationship between D&O insurance and the recruitment of independent directors. Taking Taiwanese listed companies as research objects, we find, compared to corporations without D&O insurance, corporations with D&O insurance are able to hire more and outstanding independent directors. Corporations with higher D&O insurance coverage in the industry they belong to are able to hire more and outstanding independent directors. However, companies with D&O insurance coverage more than they need are difficult to hire more and outstanding independent directors.

The research aims to study company governance and board of directors system. It not only discusses the related legal system of United States and United Kingdom, butalso presents the current legal system and the case studies of legal practice in Taiwan for a better understanding on the above-mentioned systems. First of all, I explain the motivation, purpose, methodology, scope and essay structure of this study in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, I describe the content and the characteristic of company governance theory, including separation of ownership from management, effective internal control and independent directors and discuss the legal systems in the US and UK. Then, I analyze the problems of the judicial and administrative opinions in Taiwan and discuss the current legal system and different features of independent directors and board of directors in Chapter 3; I also describe the principle of separation of rights and power in this chapter. In Chapter 4, I list the conflicts and problems between current legal system and the practices in Taiwan, and try to analyze the divergence of the regulations and the judicial and administrative opinions in Taiwan. In Chapter 5, I summarize the keynotes of all chapters and propose the revision process of independent directors and board of directors; this is also the main purpose of this study.

As we know that company directors played pivotal roles in relation to corporate governance, therefore, how to define directors and who owed the company obligations is quite important. In the past Taiwan’s Company Act regulate that only the one who have been properly appointed ought to pay responsibility to company. That statute leave a big leak, therefore, on January 4th, 2012, the Company Act had amended Article 8 (3) for fixing the problem. Hoping the articles’ amended can solve the problems, however, the statute’s regulate “…a non-director who de facto conducts business of a director or de facto controls over the management of the personnel, financial or business operation of the company and de facto instructs a director to conduct business shall be liable for the civil, criminal and administrative liabilities as a director in this Act…”didn’t define shadow directors properly. It’s not only not solving the problems, but causing lots of controversy. This paper will start from discussing 2015 OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and the application of fiduciary directors’ duties to directors. Then from observing England Company Act 2006, s250, s251 we can know that there are three kinds of category of director in England Law which are de jure directors, de facto directors and shadow directors. The shadow directors had been practiced in England for such a long time, it got lots of precedents , setting up a standard how to define shadow directors and de facto directors;and if so what duties shadow directors owed to company . Thus, compare differences between Taiwan and England, we can know the shortness of our regulation, we can learn and review from it and take it as the reference to modify law. Since the Company Act, s8 (3) had been amended around 5 years ago in Taiwan, the court had accumulated a lot of rulings about de facto directors and shadow directors. This paper through analyzing the courts ’decision to know what lacks in the act and gives a direction for legislators to modify the law in the future. Overall, there are still numerous deficiencies and conflicts in Company Act, s8 (3) that need to be amended. Hoping the amended act by legislators in the future will make the whole statute more integrity and promote economic development.

In recent years, many financial scandals have occurred in Taiwan. It does not only shock the stability of financial order, but also damages the rights and interests of shareholders and investors. The issue of company governance becomes more and more important. However, the composition of a company includes shareholders with financial contribution and director or manager who is responsible for operation, and also involves other interested parties associated with the company''s business operation. Therefore, Scholar William Blackstone ever pointed out,” A company is like a small republic.” It means that company governance is like governance of a nation, which is rather complicated. Article 202 in Current Act of Company of Taiwan specifies, “All business execution of the company, except the Act or regulation specified events that shall be decided by board of shareholders, shall be determined by the board of directors.” Viewing from the specification, internal right and power distribution of Act of Company in Taiwan is adopted director priority legislation. Under the principle of separation of all businesses, the board of directors, as the business executive authority, is the core in the organization of a company. Before revising and enlarging Item 3 of Article 8 in 2012, the identification of board of directors was identified according to the Item 1 and Item 2 of Article 8. Although the president, adviser or supervisor was in the list and has decision-making power, it was an awkward situation that they had power without responsibility, as they are unable to be managed. However, the revised and enlarged contents have a break-through for the identification of the board of directors. The new Act adopts substantial identification, i.e. it divides the directors in to “legal director”, “de facto director” and “shadow director”. The latter two are collectively referred to as the de facto directors, and related responsibilities are specified. Law revision of this time referred to the legislation cases of UK and US. This article starts from the concept that the powerful shall undertake corresponding responsibilities to develop the importance of directors in company governance and discuss the responsibilities of directors and legislation of de facto director in Item 3 of Article 8, Act of Company of Taiwan. The article will illustrate the similarities and differences between the draft amendments and existing law, and incompatible part that are applicable to affiliate enterprises and corporate director. Furthermore, as the legislation refers to the legislation of UK, it aims to take it as a reference for de facto director identification in Taiwan by introducing the concept of “controlling shareholder” and “de facto director” (de facto director and shadow director) with assistance of identification standards of de facto director proposed by the accumulation of English law judgment. The analysis and comparisons for the two are also important indicators for the application of Item 3 of Article 8. It is expected to have a better understanding for de facto director based on this paper.

Based on the data of Taiwan-Stock Exchange-listed companies covering the period 2008~2015, this paper examines the relationship between firms with DOLI (insurance coverage/the ratio of insurance coverage to total asset/the ratio of insurance coverage to net sales/average insurance coverage on each independent director) and the degree of independent directors’ busyness (with multiple directorships/average number of board appointment). Using Probit model and OLS as empirical method, the findings show that insured firms tend to have higher probability of multiple directorships as well as more board appointments of independent directors. These result indicate insured firms have the higher degree of independent directors’ busyness.

Independent director selection is a critical process and outcome that affects the board and its overall performance, but also the topic of important concern of the corporate governance. Because of this influence, research from a variety of different subject areas examines the antecedents and outcomes of the independent director selection. This paper combines these documents from these different disciplines. The paper then reviews the Independent director selection of documents and classifies them into two different perspectives. A rational economic perspective that focuses on the organizational level benefits driving the selection decision and a socialized perspective emphasizing the social processes that influence the independ ent director selection process. Therefore, this study will focus on the evaluation of the selection of independent directors of enterprises, and construct an analysis and research framework for the selection of independent directors of systemic enterprises. This study also explores the company's views on the selection of independent directors based on the company's point of view, and uses the decision making laboratory analysis method (DEMATEL) to construct a network relationship diagram between the criteria for the selection of independent directors and the degree of interaction between the facets. Finally, the network program analysis (ANP) method is used to analyze the weights. The results of this analysis will help enterprises to have specific directions and systemic strategies in the process of selecting independent directors. The results of this study can also be adapted to the decision making environment of the independent director selection and the strategic goals.

Focusing on Taiwan listed companies, this study aims to examine the association between directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O insurance) and the independence of the board of directors. After controlling for company size, ownership structure, debt ratio, and the IPO timing etc., the results show that the board of directors is more independent for companies with D&O insurance than companies with no D&O insurance. The results also show that the effect of D&O insurance on board independence is more significant for poor credit rating companies than better credit rating companies. This study contributes to the corporate governance literature as well as to the regulator on the understanding of how D&O insurance affect the board independence.

Full textHaving the global context into consideration, at a time where the entire world is recovering from an economic and financial crisis with no precedent in history, with the ruin of numerous companies, corporations, financial institutions, and even countries, the responsibility and liability of the directors, executives and managers to shareholders gains utmost importance. Directors emerge as figure responsible for the management of third parties assets, devoted to certain obligations and subjected to mechanisms created in order to increase the security and protection of the managed assets. This management equally implies a certain amount of pro-activity and self-government that we pretend to salute in terms of the merit, or demerit, from corporate decisions. Otherwise, it would be necessary to analyze the extent of the responsibility and accountability of directors, executives and managers, by taking into the consideration the obligations and responsibilities which they are subject to, and the (de)merit of their corporate and business judgments. This dichotomy between obligations and management will lead us to a critical analysis of the current regime in our legal system, with a theoretical problematic delineation and the respective framing of the issue, passing from various doctrinal constructions and reflections which are relevant and pertinent to the problem in question. The amplitude which coats one of the noblest and most discussed topic of our time, implicates a meticulous analysis of a regime that, nowadays, has not been granted the appropriate attention by the doctrine and jurisprudence.
