摘 要

二十世紀，隨著跨國公司全球業務的拓展，總公司與世界各地的子公司內部與外部交流頻繁，在此背景下，因應而生的經理人(CEO)，來處理公司重大決策的反應和執行能力。台灣過去三十年來在經濟上突飛猛進的發展與成就，尤其高科技產業，一直是亞洲第一是世界科技產品代工的王國，目前我國正走在高科技與傳統產業交替之際，傳統產業在舊董事會的制度執行下，已經無法適應市場風雲變幻；決策的速度和執行的力度比以往任何時候都更加重要。經理人(CEO)就是這種變革的產物！
本研究想了解公司董事會制度對經理人(CEO)管理的影響，了解公司經理人(CEO)法律制度權利、義務及責任，成功的經理人(CEO)所需的內在特質，除了聰明、負責、信服，使員工願意為他效命外，也能為投資者創造非凡的利潤。一位出色經理人(CEO)領導者對經營管理、行銷、財務、人力資源等。讓公司上下都有一致的方向；展現出眾的領袖氣質，在法律制度下領導公司，串起全球化的溝通，創造傲人的業績，帶領公司邁向國際舞台。
經理人(CEO)的職責，我國《民法》第553條規定，從契約的角度解釋經理人(CEO)與股東之間的代理關係，目的在於保障股東對公司的控制權，實現所有權與經營權分離關係。經理人(CEO)負責製訂公司全球資訊化的政策與標準，並確定實施程序與方法，將公司的經營情況和財務結算表有義務報告給投資人。經理人(CEO)隨時要有源源不斷的新發現及新創意的開發策略，讓公司產品保有競爭力。將知識管理的流程與業務行銷流程緊密融合為一體；建立與董事會(股東)水乳交融的機制；營造經理人(CEO)優質的管理、信任、勤勉及創新的公司文化氛圍。
