Secondly, the paper indicates the measure of perfecting board of directors' management in Chinese listed company. Lastly, the paper discusses a set of construction method of board of directors' management from different directions which strengthen restraint of creditor, model culture of governing company, etc.Innovative points of this thesis:1. It defined the concept of the Governance of Board of Directors and its implication. Commencing from the implication of governance, based on the analysis and evaluation of the implication of corporate governance, concept of board governance is been put forward, which is considered to be the core part of corporate governance and within the research field of board governance. It also points out that at the foundation of corporate governance, in order to guarantee scientific and effective decision making of the Board, board governance is a set of mechanism design and institutional arrangement to the board of directors, which is on one side regarded as principal, when structure and operation are concerned, while on the other side regarded as agent, when supervision and stimulation are concerned.2. It proposed an all-sided systematic framework of board governance of modern corporate. Having combined the two roles of board both as principal and agent, we constructed a whole system of board governance, which overcame the shortcomings of current sporadic and exparte research. When as principal, inter-balancing governance structure and scientific decision making mechanism should be formed; when as agent, both "drive" and "prevent" should be put emphasis on. Playing on the platform of the development of corporate governance theory, this whole board governance system covers problems of establishment and maintenance of contract relationship within corporate, transaction cost reduction, assurance of internal management coordination, and accordingly carries on the mechanism designing and institutional arranging, with the aim to obtain scientific decision and effective supervision of the board.3. There's no a valid-everywhere board governance structure. Features of a certain board governance structure are not only influenced by external factors such as share ownership structure, corporate strategy, capital market and previous performance, but also influenced by the features of other board governance structure. Put it in another way, the cause and effect relationship between the features of a certain board governance structure and the corporate performance is not simply existing. To much degree, the existence of this cause and effect relationship relies on other much deeper hidden cause and effect relations. So, establishing the structure of board governance should be based on the generalconsideration of both internal and external factors.4. In a comparatively systematical way, it explored another core problem of board governance—the agency relationship between shareholders and the board, involving its members. As a group which searches for benefit, the board has its own goal function. But it can't and is incapable to fulfill the investment and benefit will of all its stockholders. So, the principal-agency relationship between the board and stockholders should be well dealt with; the board and its members should be effectively supervised and stimulated.5. Starting from needs of human being and combining both stimulation to the executive directors and to the independent directors, designed a theoretical model of stimulation system to the board. It argued that to what degree directors are willing to offer depends on to what degree his needs are satisfied, which are mainly determined by how much of his needs and how strong stimulation is.6. Taking into account of the special background of current Chinese situation as a transitional economy, picking up viewpoints of system theory, this thesis proposed countermeasures and suggestions to prefect board governance of Chinese listed companies.Problems needing further study and research:1. Deeper research of Board governance within the framework of Stakeholders Theory.2. Study on Board governance by ways of Game theory.
