Abstract :
Due to the global financial crisis, companies' risk-taking has attracted the attention of the public, legislators, and academics in the past few years. The company's risk-taking level indicates whether managers choose a risky project or not. A higher level of risk-taking means that managers prefer risky but value-enhancing investments that advance production technology. They have incentives to increase corporate risk-taking by making risky investments.Therefore, this article aims to investigate this issue from the perspective of board of directors' governance, the characteristics of the board of directors are discussed with operational risk and risk-taking of the company.
