The purpose of this study is to investigate on the impact of corporate governance over the announcement effect of strategic alliance, and furthermore it also examines whether the corporate governance factors become the source of the degree of the trust among the strategic alliance partners or not. The sample data for this study consists of the strategic alliance announcements in America from January 2005 to December 2008. With a multiple linear regression model, this study provides empirical evidences which can be regard as a prediction reference of announcement of strategic alliance to cumulative abnormal return of announcement companies. The results of these empirical analyses are shown as follows: (1) We find that the announcement effects of strategic alliances can bring the positive effect to the companies. In addition, the results of this study correspond with the study of Chang, Chen, and Lai(2008) (2) The governance of strategic alliances is positive relative to the cumulative abnormal return of announcement companies. That is to say, the strategic alliance partners with good corporate governance can be a value-enhancing policy for raising the cumulative abnormal return of announcement companies indeed. (3) Based on the concept of portfolio, the weighted average variables of cumulative abnormal return of announcement companies, corporate governance index and six control variables are used in this study. The empirical results indicate that the variable of corporate governance index is positive relative to the announcement effects of strategic alliances. As both alliance partners achieve effect of corporate governance, the cumulative abnormal return of whole of strategic alliance announcemnets can be raised signigicantly. (4) Under high degree of dependency on strategic alliance, the interaction term between the variable of corporate governance of strategic alliance partners and high degree of dependency on strategic alliance is not significant. It means that the degree of depenedence on the strategic alliances has no influence on the relationship between corporate governance and cumulative abnormal return of announcement companies.
