Author: Kevin Chang This book is based on the latest Company Act (promulgated on August 1, 2018) and is written in a textbook format. It first cites the legal provisions, then presents the legislative rationale, and organizes the interpretations and judgments to provide a systematic introduction and explanation of the structure and practical operation of the Company Act. For beginners, it helps to understand the Company Act and the related disputes. Furthermore, administrative interpretations are extremely important in Company Act and have been increasingly emphasized in national examinations. Therefore, for business owners, this book enhances familiarity with the regulations regarding the operations of boards of directors and shareholders' meetings, understanding the functions of directors and supervisors, and enhancing corporate governance. For practitioners, it offers quick access to and understanding of the important contents of various laws and administrative interpretations. For those aiming to take exams, this book provides efficient preparation, leading to great results. Given the uniformity of laws, thinking about legal issues often requires cross-domain consideration, taking into account their relationships, pros, and cons. Although this book starts from Company Act it also touches on civil law, securities regulations, and other areas, hoping that readers can integrate their knowledge and think thoroughly about relevant issues.
