摘要

全球化資本流動與全球金融危機迫使各國公司治理的董事跨坐網絡產生結構斷裂重組，且這些網絡朝向小世界網絡的趨勢。本文引進小世界網絡的結構特質的相關指標，並應用在台灣半導體產業從2000-2015年的董監事與大股東跨坐網絡（亦稱為公司治理跨坐網絡）的趨勢分析。小世界網絡的結構特質是當網絡成員增加為大型網絡，網絡的最大成分的節點平均局部的網絡群聚群係數是增加的，且節點間的路徑距離縮短了。若真實網絡與隨機網絡的平均局部群聚係數的比值越大，且真實網絡和隨機網絡的平均最短距離的比值趨近於1到2之間，則此巨大且複雜的網絡具有小世界網絡的現象。台灣的半導體產業知識技術與資本的全球化快速增加，2000-2015年的跨董監事與跨大股東網絡變遷趨勢有朝向小世界網絡的現象。小世界網絡的特質也會隨著經濟成長和衰退而變化，關鍵的技術經理、創投、獨立董事專家學者及投資機構法人的網絡居間中心位置在網絡跨界重新連結上扮演重要橋樑者角色。

Both the mobility of globalized capital and the global financial crisis have fractured the interlocking networks of board directors, producing structural breaks and causing connections to be rewired, and these networks are approaching a trend toward small world networks. This paper applies the related indexes of structural characteristics in small world networks in trend analyses of interlocking networks of board directors and large stock owners (also called interlocking networks of corporate governance) in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry from 2000 to 2015. The structural characteristics of small world networks are that the average local clustering coefficient for all points is increasing and the average path distance for all points to other points is shorter in the largest component of networks when the size of networks (i.e. number of members) becomes large. If the ratio of the average local clustering for actual networks over that for random networks is growing, and the ratio of the average shortest distance for actual networks over that for random networks is between 1 and 2, then the large and complex networks display the phenomenon of small world networks. The globalization of knowledge, technology and capital in Taiwan's semiconductor industry has increased rapidly, and there has been a trend toward the phenomenon of small world networks for the 2000-2015 interlocking networks of board directors and large owners in this industry. The small world phenomenon varies with economic growth and recession. The critical positions of betweenness for technological managers, venture capitalist, scholars for independent board directors, and institutional investors play important roles of brokerage.
