From the perspective of corporate governance, we examine the acquirers' performance of mergers and acquisitions. The empirical results of our study show that outside active shareholders, such as block shareholders or institutional shareholders, affect acquirers' performance in M&A's : the ownership of outside active shareholders is positively correlated with the performance of acquirers. However, the ownership of insiders, such as that of encumbent manners or major shareholders, does not have any significant effect on the performance of M&A's. We also found that the ownership of foreign investors increased its explanatory power after the financial crisis of Asia. Since the current literature concludes that the improvement of corporate governance would enhance the shareholders' wealth, the results of our study implies that outside active investors, rather than insiders, are playing an important role in the corporate governance.

This paper investigates the impact of corporate governance structure on the firm's debt costs under different governance environments. We find that after the 2008 banking crisis, family firms with controlling shareholders benefit from lower debt cost through the strong control rights of dominating large shareholders, compared with the firms with diversified minority-shareholders. Foreign investors are related statistically to the higher cost of debt. Before the 2008 banking crisis, cash flows and growth potentials are positively associated with the firm's cost of debt.

This study inquired the features of restructuring of shipbuilding industry and structure of community cooperation. The Sinhyeon-eup region has experienced rapid changes as a large shipyard location. Prior to Korea, Japan has developed the cooperation of company-community-residents relationships and the reorganization of location systems through division and accumulation system. The restructuring of shipbuilding industry in Korea have focused on the improvement of business environment. So they have not been efficiently settled in the accumulation and the cooperation structure between company and region. Japan established the organic cooperation structure of company and community before the large restructuring, while the shipbuilding industry city of our country commenced it with the crisis of community by the restructuring. In the Sinhyeon-eup region, The connecting ring among the production sections of a core company in center is established. However the structure of community cooperation is weak. The structure of community cooperation as local governance consist of company, pubic institution, local residents, and regional expert. This structure can be a rational channel in which it can not only strengthen the cohesion of the community, but also solve the present questions of the industrial city.

본 연구의 목적은 정보기술 구조와 기업의 경쟁전략사이의 관련성을 조사함으로써, 기업의 경쟁전략의 형태에 따라서 정보시스템이 어떠한 형태를 취하느냐를 조사하는데 있었다. 다시말해서 공격형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 정보시스템의 구조가 분산화된 형태, 방어형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 집중화된 형태, 분석형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 중간형태를 취할 것이라는 가설을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 나타난바에 의하면 정보시스템 구조는 경쟁전략과 상당한 관계가 있고 특히 정보기술활동의 집중화 정도는 경쟁전략과 깊은 관련성이 있다. 서로 다른 경쟁전략을 택하는 기업은 서로 다른 정보시스템을 채택하는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있다. 보수적인 경쟁전략을 가진 조직의 정보시스템구조는 적극적인 경쟁전략을 가진 조직의 정보시스템구조 보다는 더욱 집중화되어 있다. 다시말해서, 보수적인 조직의 사용자 부문은 적극적인 조직의 사용자 부문보다는 그들의 정보기술활동에 대한 책임성이 덜하다. 이러한 사항을 기초로하여 본 논문에서는 보수적인 경쟁전략은 정보시스템에 대한 책임성의 집중화에 영향을 미친다고 예측할 수 있고 반면에 적극적인 경쟁전략은 정보시스템에 대한 책임성의 분권화에 영향을 미친다고 예측할 수 있다. 일반적으로 본 연구의 결과는 조직변화개념에 대한 부가적인 도움을 주지만 그러나 경쟁전략뿐만 아니라 조직의 다른 상황변수도 정보시스템구조에 영향을 미친다는 것을 지적해 두고자 한다.

The empirical results are summarized as follows : First, In relation to effects of ownership structure on firm value, there is the non-linear relationship between major(and foreign) shareholder's holdings and firm value. So the results(the compromise hypothesis) by prior researches(Morck et al. 1988 and so forth) is supported. However Institutional shareholder's holdings do not show the significant results. Second, In relation to effects of outside directors on firm value, equally the results of prior researches(Vafeas 2000, Choi et al. 2004), the higher the ratio of outside directors in the board, the higher firm value. Also there is the non-linear relationship between outside directors ratio and firm value. Furthermore, the higher the possibility of outside directors election in the board, the higher the relationship between ownership structure and firm value. As the economic importance of KOSDAQ is more increase, the researches of KOSDAQ should be more realized.

In this paper, we examine whether the poor performance of distressed firms where banks take equity may occur due to agency problems in banks. By adopting the debt-equity swap, the bank can effectively postpone the occurrence of bad loans form the failure of the distressed firm. As a result, firms with more debt will be more likely to obtain debt-equity swap, regardless of their probabilities of revival. This is not because they are more profitable, but because they have more debt and thus it poses greater risk to the bank. We empirically look into these predictions with the data of 44 workout firms and find the following results. First, debt-equity swap appears to be more applicable especially when the distressed firms are large and when BIS of related banks is low. Specifically, the conditional probability of 'large firms' based on debt-equity swap is 65.52% and the conditional probability of 'bad banks' based on debt-equity swap is 75.86%. Also, as predicted, the performance of these debt-equity firms is poorer than that of non debt-equity firms. The conditional probability of 'large firms' based on posterior failure is 84.62% and the conditional probability of 'bad banks' based on posterior failure is 84.62%. This is consistent with our predictions and is also confirmed through results of the logit regression analysis. Second, when the restructuring is led by 'good banks', the performance of equity-swap firms is superior to that of non equity-swap firms. This result is consistent with that of James(1995). Hence, we can conclude that there may be some agency problems in restructuring distressed firm-especially when distressed firms are large and banks are bad. And these agency problems can reconcile the difference between James' results and Park, Lee, and Jang's.

The informativeness of accounting earnings to investors may be used as a measure of the quality of accounting information. The ownership structure is considered to be related to both of two variables, the reliability of earnings reflecting the economic performance of the enterprise and the existence of alternative information sources. Earnings manipulation may mitigate the correlation between accounting earnings and the economic performance and alternative information sources decrease the value of accounting earnings as an information. Thus ownership structure could influence the informativeness of accounting earnings. This paper classifies ownership into three categories, management or inside ownership, institutional investors and large outside blockholders, and diffuse outside ownership and examines theoretically the difference of information effectiveness under each ownership structure. The earnings manipulation hypothesis supports the assertion that the separation of ownership from control motivates earnings manipulation. And differential information hypothesis suggests that more non-accounting information of firms with institutional or concentrated outside ownership is provided. Outside blockholders have alternative information sources that make accounting manipulation ineffective. While most previous studies have examined the effect of ownership on the informativeness of earnings from earnings manipulation hypothesis, this study is motivated by both earnings manipulation hypothesis and differential information hypothesis.

If the watchdog role of good corporate governance, corporate executives and reduce agency costs and information asymmetries. Corporate governance score higher because enterprise internal control systems and financial reporting system is well equipped with the company management is enabled and corporate performance is higher because the high financial credit rating. Under these assumptions and hypotheses set up this study corporate governance (CGI) has been studied demonstrated how the financial impact on the credit rating (CFR). Findings,

relevant corporate governance (CGI) and financial credit rating was found to significantly affect the positive (+), Regression coefficient code is expected code of positive (+), the value

indicated by the value of all positive. The results of corporate governance (CGI) has showed excellent results, such as the more predictable will increase the credit score financial rating. The results of this study will have more CGI-credit financial rating the greater good. This study might be expected to provide a useful guide that corporate social responsibility, the company with a good governance and oversight systems enable to to get a higher credit rating in practice and research.

대주주들이 경영권을 직접 행사하고 있는 우리나라의 경영환경에서 기업의 의사결정은 대주주의 보유지분 정도에 따라 상당히 달라 질 수 있다. 즉, 소유경영자의 지분이 적으면 적을수록 경영자 자신의 이익과 전체 주주의 이익은 괴리되고 경영자의 경영상의 위험수용성(危險受容性)은 높아지게 된다. 이에 따라 내부지분율이 낮은 기업일수록 보다 높은 성장을 선호하고 위험성이 높은 투자대안을 선택할 가능성이 증대된다. 상기한 연구가설을 검정하기 위하여 94년부터 97년까지 4년간의 상장기업 자료를 이용하여 내부지분율과 부채비율, 그리고 성장률과의 관계를 분석하였다. 특히, 내부지분율을 포함하는 기업의 재무구조 다중회귀모형과 성장률의 다중회귀모형을 구축하여 내부지분율이 기업의 재무구조와 성장률에 대한 유의적인 설명력을 보유하고 없는지 여부를 검정하였다. 실증분석 결과는 내부지분율이 낮은 기업일수록 부채비율과 성장률이 상대적으로 높다는 연구가설을 일관성 있게 지지하고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 정부의 기업정책에 대한 중요한 시사점을 던져주고 있다. 즉, 이제까지 기업들은 경영권에 대한 위협없이 내부지분율을 저하시킬 수 있었고, 이러한 상황에서 기업의 고부채, 고성장 전략은 소유경영자의 시각에서 볼 때는 극히 합리적인 것이었다. 하지만, 정부가 기업의 매수합병시장을 활성화시키면 많은 기업들은 경영권의 보호를 위해 내부지분율을 높이게 될 것이다. 이 경우 기업들은 보다 보수적인 경영을 하게 되어 부채비율은 낮아지고 과도한 성장정책은 지양될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 보다 건전한 기업경영을 유도하기 위해서는 내부지분율이 제고되어야 하고, 이를 위해서는 아직도 남아있는 매수합병의 장애요인들을 조속히 제거하는 것이 필요할 것이다.
