Abstract

Board of directors of a corporation is ultimately responsible for the organization's decision and its performance. To be the key of succes of the organization, board must be functioning effective and efficient. Reviewing the board performance is valuable in contributing to the function of the board. One of method to reviewing the board is through the established structure of the board, that is within its size and composition balances, This thesis tried to investigate whether the optimum board size and board composition balances for complex firms and high R&D firms are also found in Indonesia's Manufacturing firms. This thesis used 6 Indonesian's R&D manufacturing companies as a data samples, and used Tobin's Q as a firm performance measurement. This thesis found that, contrary to the hypotheses, the optimun board size and board composition balances for complex firms and high R&D firms, as suggested by previous research, wasn't found in Indonesian's R&D manufacturing companies and also have a negative relationship toward firm performance as measured by Tobin's Q.
