The Argonauts is a one hundred and ten minute screenplay depicted in the genre of
children's adventure film, set in the suburbs of Brisbane in the early 1990s. It tells the
story of four friends who embark on adventure in an attempt to save their parents' shops
from a corporate takeover. The exegesis explores the dual role of the screenwriter/director
and the affect on the screenplay of the shifts in mindset required when these roles are
undertaken by the same person. Screenwriting and directing are explored as two separate
but interlinked disciplines. In this paper I have draw on my experience in these two roles
to discuss their inter-relationship. In order to understand how the two roles of
screenwriting and directing interact, challenge and compliment one another when carried
out by the same person, I analyse the interplay of these roles within the specific areas of
character, narrative and setting in the writing and revision of the screenplay, The
Argonauts.

This study explored the preparation methods, qualifications and criteria that both university and athletic directors deemed necessary when searching for athletic directors. Participants completed a survey via Qualtrics online software. Two different populations were sampled for this study: 651 university presidents and 651 athletic directors whose schools compete in either Division I or II in the NCAA, resulting in 96 and 150 usable responses respectively. Participants in both groups were primarily white males with mean ages of 62 for presidents and 52 for the athletic directors.
The study provided demographic information, educational history, professional experience, and prior careers of athletic directors. The rankings of the athletic were compared to the rankings of the presidents and identified consistencies of opinions. The respondent groups were in agreement on the qualities and ranking of many dimensions of leadership in this role. The top seven, for both groups, in order, were ethics, budgeting and finances skills, fundraising, communications, sport leadership, strategic management and policy, and athletic administration.
This information could be used as a guide for people who want to strategically maneuver up the ranks in athletics administration. Presidents might use the information as they prepare to hire candidates for the athletic director position.

Thesis (DBA)--Macquarie University, Graduate School of Management, 2008.Bibliography: p. 275-289.
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.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis explores whether independent directors in the USA and Canada are effective in holding management accountable by: (1) analyzing how the policy of relying on independent directors developed and operates; (2) introducing the main theoretical critiques of independent directors’ monitoring effect; and (3) examining whether empirical studies in the field of management science and financial economics support the policy in both countries of relying on independent directors as corporate monitors.
Empirical evidence shows that boards with a majority of independent directors, in some circumstances, were associated with better firm performance (in the post-SOX period) and fulfilled certain board tasks effectively in the United States. Canadian studies, however, have not shown a positive association with improved firm performance. Audit committees composed entirely of independent directors have been effective in ensuring the quality of financial reporting in the United States, but this effect has not been found in Canada. Compensation committees composed fully of independent directors neither constrained the level of executive compensation nor tied CEO pay to firm performance in either country. US firms with an audit committee member who had accounting expertise, rather than financial analysis or supervisory expertise, were associated with a higher quality of financial reporting, while Canadian firms with an audit committee member who has financial expertise, instead of financial literacy, were associated with a similar effect. Studies also showed that independent directors perform better in certain circumstances.
Based on empirical evidence, US regulators should consider: (1) changing the current mandatory requirements for an independent board and a completely independent compensation committee to a comply-or-explain requirement; (2) narrowing the qualification of a financial expert to an individual who has accounting expertise; and (3) recruiting independent directors who have two or fewer outside directorships, hold more of the corporation’s shares, have lower cost of acquiring corporate information, and have no social connections with the CEO. In Canada, weak evidence of the monitoring effectiveness of independent directors supports the existing comply-or-explain approach. Canadian regulators may only need to require or recommend that at least one audit committee member has financial expertise, instead of only financial literacy.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This research uses a grounded theory approach to explore the term ‘experienced Board Member’ with research into the learning experiences which bridge the gap between an inexperienced Board Member and an experienced Board Member. The purpose of this research is to identify repeatable/reportable patterns which could be utilised and developed to improve Board Member learning. Data is derived from interviews with nine (current and past) New Zealand Board Members. A common set of attributes of an experienced Board Member emerged from the study. The linking theme of the attributes is that they support the process of reaching a quality agreement or decision. The results of this study suggest that an experienced Board Member is perceived to be a Board Member who contributes to achieving a quality agreement and decision, using attributes associated with: • Contribution to Board processes • Understanding and Knowledge (governance and business acumen) • Internal Drivers • Making Hard Decisions. Formative Board Member learning is associated with developing self confidence, understanding what content is perceived to be (or not to be) relevant, understanding the Boardroom protocols and processes, and understanding the responsibility of the role. The primary mechanism in Board Member learning is observation. Board Member learning was most often the development of tacit understanding through observing events internal to the Board. Learning events for Board Members are likely to arise as part of the dismissal/departure of the CEO or from internal Board dissension. The results also indicate that current NZ Board Members are unlikely to have had any formal preparation for the Board Member role, and learning for the role is likely to be ad-hoc and vicarious. This research suggests that the successful development of experienced Board Members will require a fundamental change in the perception and practice of Board Member development within organisations and at Board level. A Capability and Maturity Model is presented as a framework for assessing an organisation’s capability and maturity in terms of the development of its Board Members. This study builds on corporate governance theory by identifying attributes considered indicative of an experienced Board Member. This study adds to Learning Organisation and Knowledge theories by providing examples and comment on the place of Communities of Practice, and knowledge development within the development of Board Member experience.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis addresses the unresolved question of how director tenure relates to director monitoring. Multiple sources of data, gathered over two interrelated qualitative studies, provide a unique and up close perspective of the phenomena. The results highlight the value of incorporating theories that explain director motivation into traditional corporate governance research. Overall, the relationship between tenure and director monitoring is shown to be more complex than generally assumed, and as such, policies using a single approach for director tenure may not be appropriate.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Since the 1902 decision of Percival v. $Wright\sp1,$ Canadian common law has provided that directors generally have no fiduciary duties to shareholders. Shareholders have continued to assert that directors have such duties, however. Moreover, shareholders have been attracted by the allure of the rigorously restitutionary remedies imposed on fiduciaries. Cases in which share holders have made claims of fiduciary duty against directors since the law reforms of the 1960s and 1970s are examined. The law reformers expected that the courts would develop the law of fiduciary relations within the corporation. Moreover, the nature of securities law reforms confronted the courts with the previously noted gulf between the statutory fiduciary obligations imposed on directors and insiders of widely-held corporations and the lack of such obligations in private companies. This review of judicial decisions begins with an examination of the compulsory acquisition cases which preceded the statutory take-over bid reforms. These cases arise from facts which would constitute take-over bids under the statutory reforms of the 1960s. In these cases, we see a very limited attempt by the judiciary to impose fiduciary obligations of good faith and candour in favour of minority shareholders. The courts' sense of commercial morality seems to have been stirred in these cases, a morality engendered by the arbitrary expropriation permitted by the statutory compulsory acquisition provisions. An examination of latter day cases involving claims of fiduciary duty show that the decisions are sprinkled with references to commercial morality. Despite this moral impetus, the courts seem unwilling to venture beyond the perceived constraints of the corporations statutes. This unwillingness, coupled with the courts' inability to articulate a uniform rationale for imposing fiduciary duties on directors in favour of shareholders contribute to the unsatisfactory state of the law.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In Company Law there are two bodies or organs of the company that have the power to make decisions regarding the management of the company. These two bodies are the shareholders in the general meeting and the board of directors. The exact nature of the relationship between the directors and the company is not easily described. While directors have been said to be agents, trustees or even managers of a company, none of these fully describe the position with total accuracy. The nature of the position of the director is best described as being sui generis, and having similarities to each of those in certain circumstances. The Companies Act 71 of 2008 gives a new expanded definition of “director” which clarifies who is considered to be a director. The Common Law initially considered the members in the general meeting, to be the company and any resolution by them was considered to be a corporate act. The constitutional documents of the company were considered to be a contract between them and the majority rule was enforced. The directors would have their power delegated to them. This position changed in 1906 after the case of Automatic Self-cleansing Filter Syndicate Co Ltd v Cunninghame [1906] 2 Ch 34 (CA). Here the court held that there was a division of power, according to the constitutional documents, between the shareholders in the general meeting and the board of directors. The general meeting could not interfere with those powers of the board, except if they changed the articles of association by special resolution. The shareholders had residual and default powers and were the ultimate organ of the company. The position of the board of directors in Companies Act 61 of 1973 was given in Article 59 of Table A. Here the board was given the power to manage the business of the company. It was found that this included the power to derive a profit and stop trading in certain circumstances but did not include the power to liquidate the company. The board’s powers, according to Article 59 of Table A, were still subject to the shareholders in the general meeting. This showed that the shareholders still remained the ultimate power in the company. The division of powers in Company Law has been drastically changed by Section 66(1) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. The board of directors is now statutory empowered to manage not only the business of the company, but also the affairs. It was stated in the case of Ex parte Russlyn Construction (Pty) Ltd 1987 (1) SA 33 (D) that affairs had a wider meaning than business and could include the power to liquidate the company. Delport states, with reference to Canadian Law, that the word “affairs” means the internal dealings of a company as well as the existence of the company. The statutory empowerment of the board, and inclusion of the word ‘’affairs’’ in section 66(1), changes the division of powers in the company. The board of directors now has original powers and is the ultimate power in the company being able to bring an end to the very existence of the company. The full effect of this change is one which will only be revealed in years to come as case law around this matter develops.Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

La thèse se consacre aux analyses théoriques et empiriques d'organisation et efficacité de conseil d'administration, et le rôle et indépendance des administrateurs dans les grandes entreprises françaises. Tout d'abord, elle examine comment les grands actionnaires influent sur la composiition des administrateurs externes dans le conseil d'administration des firmes cotées. Nous trouvons que le 2ème grand actionnaire est négativement lié à la présence des administrateurs indépendants, et positivement lié à la présence des administrateurs affiliés. Ensuite, les échanges réciproques des directeurs généraux (CEOs) dans les 245 grandes entreprises ont été analysés. Finalement, le chapitre 4 tente de proposer une organisation efficiente à l'intérieur du conseil d'administration, notamment la création des comités de surveillanceThe 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

The present research provides the first analyses of Australian women directors from the perspective of social identity theory. The overall objective of the research program is to confirm the validity of social identity theory to the study of women on corporate boards and in doing so, add to the limited knowledge regarding successful women directors. An aim of the research was to identify factors that are significant in the social identity of women who are successful directors of corporate boards. These factors were revealed through a longitudinal study (over six years) of changes in the demographic characteristics of the women and their board positions. Factors were revealed through their perceptions of their effectiveness as an ostensibly minority (female) board member. Similarities in stereotyped attitudes to men and women board directors confirmed their status as an ingroup member. Through identification of significant factors in women’s success as board directors it is hoped to assist both individual women who are striving for success on corporate boards and organisations who wish to make more effective use of women on their boards. Five studies examined various aspects of women directors’ experiences and influences through three survey instruments that were used to collect data over a period of six years. A survey design allowed the gathering of detailed data on a variety of items thought to be relevant to women’s experiences of being directors and allowed the data collected to be oriented to a theoretical framework. Thus, a survey design was deemed superior to common alternatives of analysis of archival company annual report data or re-analysis of data collected by executive search companies for a study of corporate directors. A survey of 572 Australian women directors in 1995 identified many characteristics of women directors. A profile of a typical Australian women director was constructed and compared to international research on women directors covering a similar period (e.g., Burke, 1994b; Catalyst, 1993; Holton, Rabbets & Scrivener, 1993). An examination of differences between the characteristics of executive and nonexecutive women directors confirmed that the two director roles could be perceived as distinct groups. A further survey of the women six years later examined changes in their characteristics and board experiences. Of the 298 women who had agreed to follow-up research, 59 surveys were returned as no longer at the same address, 23 women indicated that they were no longer on a corporate board, and 32 were current corporate directors. Changes in the women’s profiles that the directors had attained through increased board memberships and more central board roles were interpreted as indicators of success. Based on research by Cejka and Eagly (1999), similarities and differences in stereotypical attitudes of men and women directors were examined in relation to social identity theory. Factors in nonexecutive women directors’ identification as board directors, their perceptions of their ability to contribute as board directors, and their behaviour as a board directors were assessed by measures from Karasawa (1991) and Westphal and Milton (2000). The present research program demonstrated the value of social identity theory as a vehicle for understanding Australian women director’s experiences on corporate boards. For the present research, social identity theory provided insights into how successful Australian women directors perceive themselves and other members of their ingroup of board directors. By contributing to a deeper understanding of successful women directors, it is hoped that a greater number of women will be able to successfully join ingroups of board directors, thereby breaking down the barriers to women.

A review of the literature indicates that there has been no previous studies on Virginia Athletic Directors (ADs) and their knowledge of school law. Several researchers have studied other educators' knowledge of school law. In general, previous studies on educators' knowledge of school law demonstrates that educators do not have a comprehensive working knowledge of school law. ADs differ from those studied previously due to the lack of unified certification requirements for ADs in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
This study was designed to measure Virginia interscholastic ADs' knowledge of job related school law. In addition, the study analyzed the data for any significant relationships between ADs' knowledge of school law and other variables. Such variables include age, experience, size of school district, level of education, administration and supervision endorsement, type of legal training, methods for obtaining current school law information and/or updates, membership in professional organizations, national certification level. Of the 315 Virginia public high school Ads, 305 were surveyed and 140 responded, for a response rate of 45.9%. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA analysis.
Statistical analysis revealed that ADs in larger schools scored significantly higher than ADs in smaller schools. Also, ADs with that possessed the 'Certified Athletic Administrator' (CAA) credential scored significantly higher than ADs that have not attained the CAA certification. Lastly, ADs that are members of both the state and national ADs association (VIAAA and NIAAA, respectively) scored significantly higher than ADs who are not members of both associations.Ed. D.

The purpose of this study is to discover if there exists a difference between the perceived roles and functions of intensive English program (IEP) directors and what they actually are. The study is a partial replication of Matthies (1983). A total of 46 subjects participated in a nation-wide survey which asked the respondents to rate the importance of functions and skills in good job performance and in self-assessment of ability. The findings indicated that IEP directors rate the activities associated with administration higher in importance than teaching skills, yet rate themselves better at teaching overall. Additionally, the respondents have more and higher degrees in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics than previously seen by Matthies (1983).

This study focused on opinions of diagnostic medical sonography program directors concerning online education within an allied health field that is clinically based. Although the study is centered around sonography, the findings can be applied to many online programs with clinical aspects. There was limited information concerning online education within a clinically based healthcare field, therefore the literature review focused on distance or online education in general. The participating program directors used online/distance learning terms interchangeably. The objective of this study was to identify factors that attributed to or hindered the progress of an online program in diagnostic medical sonography. The question that guided this research was: What are the program directors’ perception of face-to-face versus online program delivery in a clinically based subject?
Individual interviews were conducted with three directors of online sonography programs. The responses showed that these directors saw improved overall outcomes in their online programs. This was ultimately attributed to a supportive staff and ease of access to resources. Resources and communication are easily accessed due to the improved technology seen in today’s online classroom.

A survey design allowed the gathering of detailed data on a variety of items thought to be relevant to women's experiences of being directors and allowed the data collected to be oriented to a theoretical framework. Thus, a survey design was deemed superior to common alternatives of analysis of archival company annual report data or re-analysis of data collected by executive search companies for a study of corporate directors. A survey of 572 Australian women directors in 1995 identified many characteristics of women directors.;A profile of a typical Australian women director was constructed and compared to international research on women directors covering a similar period (e.g., Burke, 1994b; Catalyst, 1993; Holton, Rabbets & Scrivener, 1993). An examination of differences between the characteristics of executive and nonexecutive women directors confirmed that the two director roles could be perceived as distinct groups. A further survey of the women six years later examined changes in their characteristics and board experiences. Of the 298 women who had agreed to follow-up research, 59 surveys were returned as no longer at the same address, 23 women indicated that they were no longer on a corporate board, and 32 were current corporate directors. Changes in the women's profiles that the directors had attained through increased board memberships and more central board roles were interpreted as indicators of success. Based on research by Cejka and Eagly (1999), similarities and differences in stereotypical attitudes of men and women directors were examined in relation to social identity theory. Factors in nonexecutive women directors' identification as board directors, their perceptions of their ability to contribute as board directors, and their behaviour as a board directors were assessed by measures from Karasawa (1991) and Westphal and Milton (2000). The present research program demonstrated the value of social identity theory as a vehicle for understanding Australian women director's experiences on corporate boards. For the present research, social identity theory provided insights into how successful Australian women directors perceive themselves and other members of their ingroup of board directors. By contributing to a deeper understanding of successful women directors, it is hoped that a greater number of women will be able to successfully join ingroups of board directors, thereby breaking down the barriers to women.

Prior studies document that board directors who fail to act as effective monitors of management are penalized by the labor market in the form of fewer subsequent board seats. However, there is little evidence on how the market rewards directors for exceptional advising and monitoring on corporate boards. In this paper, I use national director awards as a positive shock to directors’ reputations and examine changes in board seats for award-winning directors. Award-winning directors gain more board seats than non-winning directors, both after and before the awards. Event study tests suggest that the quality of award-winning directors may have been revealed to the labor market before the awards but not to the broader stock market. Stock market reactions to appointments of award-winning directors are positive and statistically significant only after the awards, not before.

The social and economic effects of high profile governance scandals such as the National Safety Council, HIH and Centro have triggered much debate, reform and research into predicting and preventing future failures. While this has meant director financial literacy is now recognised as a core capability required of each individual director, there has been little guidance on what this capability involves other than the very general statement of being able to 'read and understand financial statements'. This thesis presents the results of a Delphi study aimed at identifying the core concepts a director needs to master to be financially literate. Thirty-five experts drawn from accounting, education and practice agreed that to be financially literate a director must have a conceptual understanding of 24 basic accounting concepts and be able to independently apply this understanding to a strategic evaluation of the finances of the organisation they serve.

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.

This paper primarily investigates the effectiveness of pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) of firms with inside director. In addition, this study divides the directors' total compensation into fixed and variable compensation, and impact of inside directors on sensitivity of directors' compensation performance. This study contains listed companies in Taiwan from 2006 to 2016, and this sample consisting of 13,282 observations. The results indicate that board directors' total compensation、fixed and variable compensation have positive PPS. About the PPS for directors, the result find that inside directors diminish PPS for directors.

We find significant evidence that academic directors enhance firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance after examining a sample of S&P 1,500 firms for years 2002 to 2011. The presence of academic directors in corporate board increases firms’ CSR performance. Within academic directors, female academic directors have positive incremental effect on firm’s CSR performance. We also find that academic directors’ and female academic directors’ influence on CSR activity is not similar across CSR components. Among seven qualitative components of CSR, academic directors have significant positive effect on community, diversity, environment and product components. At the same time, female academic directors have positive effect on diversity and employee relations but negative effect on environment. Finally, we observe that the effect of academics on CSR is heterogeneous across their academic specialization and experience. In particular, we note that academics with administrative responsibility, business background and industry experience have significant positive effect on firms’ CSR performance.

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.

Creditors of the corporate business form are in a vulnerable position. Recognition of the plight of corporate creditors led to the implementation of various legal measures aimed at protecting their financial interest in the company. These measures proved disappointingly inadequate in many instances. As a result the judiciary in some jurisdictions felt compelled to develop existing legal principles pertaining to directors’ duties in such a way that they could be used to facilitate protection of corporate creditors’ interests. This development did not meet with universal approval. Those opposed to the extension of directors’ duties to protect creditors’ interests have three main arguments against it. The first is related to conceptual issues and policy concerns. The second argument is that existing remedies are more than adequate to protect creditors’ interests. A last argument against a directorial duty to creditors pertains to the practical implementation of this extended duty. It is argued that the existing legal framework with regard to directors’ duties is not suitable to provide protection for creditors’ interests. However, it was shown in this study that the extension of directors’ duties to protect creditors’ interests is indeed justifiable on a sound conceptual basis and that policy concerns regarding such an extension are either unfounded, or should be addressed in some other way. An analysis of existing protective measures and remedies often referred to by opponents of an extension of directors’ duties, namely statutory personal liability of directors, traditional insolvency remedies, and the piercing of the veil doctrine furthermore showed that these measures are inadequate. This leads to the conclusion that there is a definite need for an alternative remedy, such as the extension of directors’ duties to include creditors’ interests. The existing legal framework in respect of directors’ duties furthermore proved to be capable of being successfully adapted to include creditors’ interests. Central issues in this respect, as was indicated by an analysis of case law, are the point in time when the duty to creditors is triggered, the beneficiary of the duty, in other words who would have locus standi in case of a breach of the duty, and the type of protection afforded to creditors’ interests by way of fiduciary duties and the duty of care and skill. The existing legal framework also provides measures in terms of which honest and diligent directors may be relieved from liability, such as indemnification, relief granted by the courts and director liability insurance. These measures, if formulated correctly, may achieve and maintain the essential balance between accountability and entrepreneurial freedom. The legislature appears to have adopted a cautious approach to the issue of directors’ duties to creditors. It thus seems to be up to the judiciary to develop directors’ duties to creditors in a meaningful way. Pioneering in this respect has already been done in Australia, New Zealand, England, Canada and the United States of America. It is to be hoped that the South African judiciary will follow suit when the opportunity to do so arises.Thesis (LLD (Mercantile Law))--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Atento o enquadramento mundial, numa altura em que todo o globo económico está a sair de uma crise financeira de dimensões históricas, com a ruína de diversas empresas e instituições financeiras e com um escrutínio cada vez mais apertado em relação àqueles que se consideram ser os deveres principais dos administradores, a responsabilidade destes últimos perante os acionistas assume particular relevância.
Os administradores surgem-nos como uma figura incumbida da gestão de património alheio, adstritos a deveres e sujeitos a mecanismos que visam uma proteção cada vez maior do património a gerir. E essa gestão implica igualmente uma pro-atividade e uma autonomia que se pretende salutar do ponto de vista do mérito das decisões empresariais.
Caso contrário, há que analisar o efetivo grau de responsabilidade e responsabilização dos administradores, revestindo-se essa mesma análise dos deveres a que estes se encontram sujeitos e do (des)mérito das decisões (leia-se) empresariais tomadas.
Esta dicotomia entre o dever e a gestão conduzir-nos-á a uma análise crítica do regime vigente no nosso ordenamento jurídico, com uma delineação teórico-problemática e respetivo enquadramento da questão, passando por diversas construções doutrinárias e reflexões que se nos afiguram pertinentes atento o contexto do problema.
A amplitude de que se reveste um dos temas mais nobres e mais discutidos da atualidade implica uma análise meticulosa de um regime que, nos dias que correm, não tem merecido a devida atenção por parte da doutrina e da jurisprudência.Having 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.
