Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of corporate governance systems on the relationship between R&D investment and the performance of Chinese firms. The sample firms were obtained from the statistical yearbook of Chinese high-tech firms. We implement a multiple-regression analysis for an empirical examination. The findings of showed that the separation of the board chair with CEO strengthen the R&D investment-performance relationship of Chinese firms. However, the outsider ratio of the board was found to negatively moderate that relationship. This study provides practical guidelines for Chinese firms undertaking R&D management and corporate governance systems. It also encourages future study on the effects of corporate governance as the means for R&D investment management.

본 연구는 중국기업들의 R&D 투자와 성과 간의 관계에 대한 기업지배구조 시스템들의 차별적인 영향을 분석하는데 주된 목적을 두고 실행되었다. 연구표본은 중국 첨단기업들에 대한 통계연보에서 획득하였고, 실증분석을 위해서는 다중회귀분석을 실행하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 중국기업들의 R&D 투자와 성과 간의 유의한 정(+)의 관계는 CEO-이사회 의장직의 분리에 의해 강화되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 이사회 구성에 대한 사외이사 비율 증가는 R&D 투자와 성과 간의 관계를 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기업지배구조 시스템을 구축하고 R&D투자 관리를 통해 성과 향상을 도모하고 있는 중국 기업들에게 실질적인 활용 지침을 제공하고 있다. 또한 R&D 투자관리 방안으로서 기업지배구조의 영향에 대한 미래 연구를 제안하고 있다.
