| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 96 === The issue of corporate governance (CG) has been extensively conducted for the last three decades. However, most previous studies focused on specific variables discussion rather than on summarization and integration of previously published researches on a given topic. It is especially necessary to identify weaknesses and limitations in extant research, and to create a roadmap and agenda in a mature research field for future studies. In this thesis, we attempt to classify and integrate past literature contexts by bibliometrics techniques, a well-developed analytic process in the field of library and information science. Besides, data was collected from ISI Web of Knowledge database and was matched based on core author files. Accordingly, a co-citation matrix was summarized and used by further analyses. Furthermore, the effects of co-author clustered on every CG topic, on intellectual structure and on its main trends over past two centuries are discussed. At the same time, the derived clusters were named and positioned respectively.
According to the results of author co-citation analysis, we concluded that intellectual structure of CG in 1990s contained (1) board and top management team; (2) corporate performance; (3) ownership structure focused on institutional investor and (4) general issues. Moreover, CG research trends beyond 2000s have changed in other four directions: (1) ownership structure focused on blockholder and ownership concentration; (2) laws and regulations; (3) audit, information transparency, and disclosure and (4) CG development in emerging economy.
