本研究同時考量代理理論及資源依賴理論之觀點，認為內部董事雖因任職於公司而造成其獨立性受損，監督誘因較低，但內部董事因具備有企業特定知識與內部有用資訊，故可有效評估策略並作成適當決策，尤以在高R&D投入之企業中，更需要具備企業特定知識之人，因此，本研究探討R&D支出與內部董事席次比率間之關係，並進一步分析R&D對內部董事與經營績效關聯性之影響。 實證結果顯示，高R&D投入與內部董事席次比率間呈顯著正相關，表示在R&D密度高的公司中，其公司的董事會中會有較高的內部董事席次。在高R&D密度的公司，內部董事席次比率與公司經營績效呈顯著正向關係。表示在高研發投入公司，公司特定專業知識之需求較高，內部董事資源提供之功能強於監督之需求，因而有較多內部董事席次之公司會有較佳之經營績效。 / This paper considered both agency theory and resource-dependence theory. Although hired by the firm, inside directors may have lower monitoring incentives, they have firm-specific knowledge and useful information and can evaluate strategies effectively and make better decisions. Especially in those high-R&D firms need firm-specific knowledge, therefore, this paper examines the relationship between R&D and the percentage of inside director, and also examines the relationship between inside director and firm performance in high-R&D firms. The empirical results finds that R&D and inside director are significantly positive. It shows that high-R&D firms will have higher percentage of inside directors in their boards. And the empirical results also finds that in high-R&D firms, they will have more specific professional knowledge need, and inside directors’ resource-provision function is stronger than the monitoring function, therefore, firms with higher percentage of inside directors will have better firm performance.

在公司績效的決定因素的研究中，本研究採用Marginal q作為衡量企業投資效率的指標，發現內部人持股比例與公司經營績效間之關係綜合「利益收斂說」以及「掠奪性假說」兩種效果，隨內部人持股比例呈倒U字形先增後減的非線性關係。其他控制變數方面：機構投資人能擔任監督管理者的角色、有效降低代理成本增進公司價值；規模對公司績效大致呈正面影響，惟效果並不顯著；在Tobin's q模型，研發活動支出比例對公司績效有正面的影響；在Marginal q模型，研究發展支出比例對公司績效影響不顯著。本研究亦考量董監質押比例的影響，結果顯示，公司績效僅與董監質押行為負相關與質押比例則無顯著關係。本研究亦採用一個新的衡量內部人持股變數—平均每位董事/監察人持股，該變數亦能精確衡量內部人持股。考量模型內生性的問題後，內部人持股比例與公司績效之關係，並未因此改變。 / We investigate the determinants of the performance of the firm measured by Tobin's q and Marginal q in our study, and find a curvilinear relation between firm value and insider ownership. The traditional measure, Tobin's q, suffers from several drawbacks. Among which the endogeneity is the most serious one which may cause the relationship spurious. As for other controlling variables, we found that institutional investors are able to supervise the management effectively, which implies lower agency cost. The size of the firm is contributive to the value of the firm; however, the influence is not significant. R&D has positive and significant impacts on Tobin's q as we expect. There is less reason to expect a positive relationship between R&D and Marginal q. Indeed, we didn’t find any significant relation in our regression result. We also include the mortgage ratio of the insiders in our study. We conclude that performance is related to whether the insiders mortgage or not. The extent of mortgage doesn’t matter. We construct a new variable –average insider ownership– which could also measure the extent of insider holding well. Considering the possibility of endogeneity, the relation between insider ownership and performance of the firm is still consistent with the result of our study.

財富管理源起於私人銀行，服務對象為高淨值資產之客層。金融監督管理委員會為促進國內金融環境發展健全，於2005年2月間頒布「銀行辦理財富管理業務應注意事項」、2005年7月間頒布「證券商辦理財富管理業務應注意事項」、2006年1月核准「人身保險業辦理財富管理業務」。規範人身保險業從事財富管理業務之範疇，歸納為人身保險業針對高淨值客戶，透過人身保險業務員，依據客戶需求，提供資產配置或財務規劃等服務，而高淨值客戶之條件，由人身保險業自行依據經營策略訂定。 隨著人口老化、財富愈趨集中、經濟環境之變遷，金融控股公司資源整合與金融監理相關法規逐漸完備等因素，人身保險產業由擅長提供人身保險商品，延伸至理財規劃及資產管理諮詢服務，也延伸經營管理相關問題，本研究就國內人身保險業經營財富管理業務，針對人壽保險公司實施財富管理業務提出建議： 1、加強財富管理業務之風險管理：應加強經營財富管理相關業務的經營風險辨識，進而提出有效的風險管理制度與政策。 2、強化內部稽核制度有效性：在兼顧經營效率下，建立有效稽核制度，使企業成為一個有機體。 3、確實瞭解客戶並落實客戶風險告知：一套瞭解、認識、接近客戶並取得客戶信任整合流程，是發展財富管理業務的關鍵。 4、提升業務人員教育訓練及專業培養：專業知識、教育訓練、管理規範及資訊系統輔助，使人員服務品質提升，更可以有效傳遞並確保客戶權益。 5、強化保險商品創新與財富管理市場定位：以人壽保險產業深入服務優勢，搭配商品服務及通路創新，以獨特性及附加價值，奠定財富管理定位。 同時亦探討現行保險監理機關監管財富管理必須重視的議題，如何明確定義人壽保險業者經營財務富管理業務檢查要點，修正財富管理業務需有獨立權責部門規定及開放投資型商品設計及管理費議題。本文同時評估現行人身保險業者經營財富管理業務之效益評估，並作為監理機關監管財富管理業務時參考。 / The “Wealth Management” service was created by private bank.

A further classification of internal control weaknesses was performed based on the nature of the events, COSO Internal Control — Integrated Framework and regulations of internal control in China. 　　In sum, the empirical results indicate that, for the companies under investment, the internal control weaknesses of financial reporting have significant positive impact on firm investment effectiveness. On the other hand for the companies which were over investment, those with internal control weaknesses have significant negative association with investment effectiveness. Moreover, the results show that companies with defective of logistics work or the design and execution of internal control were worse performers on investment effectiveness. Based on the COSO framework, the internal control weaknesses classified by the elements, including control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring, and the efficient and effective operations of the internal control objective are significant or one-tailed significant negative correlated to firm investment effectiveness. Collectively, if the internal control weaknesses were disclosed by the authorities, the firms had worse internal control efficiency, while the firms which were more conscious of internal control would disclose the internal control weaknesses themselves. The study shows that internal control weaknesses have impact on firm investment policy, and that internal control efficiency helps promote firm investment effectiveness.
