有關「治理」的概念，一直都是組織研究學者持續關注的課題，治理問題之存在，本質上乃基於組織內與組織間分工、並進行交換與生產活動，所必然衍生之管理課題。唯由於「治理」所涉及之研究領域與課題極廣，長期以來組織研究學者對於此一概念之理論與實務意涵，尚未有一致之共識。
建立在組織經濟學之基礎上，本文將以組織內與組織間之交換與生產活動為主軸，嘗試釐清組織研究學者所稱「組織治理」之本質與理論意涵。此外，本文亦將進一步以組織策略研究領域為例，論述「治理」之策略性觀點及其在策略課題研究之角色，進而簡要地概述本專刊所刊登五篇論文之組織治理議題的內涵與理論邏輯。最後，則針對專刊論文並未涉獵，唯對未來具潛力之研究議題，提出研究主題與方向上之建議與結論。

Regarding the idea of “governance” is still attracting continuously concerns by researchers of organization studies. The existence of governance problems derived from the division of labor, exchange and production activities within and between organizations. Owing to the scope of governance related research fields and issues is broad, there is no consistent agreement about the theoretical and practical implications of governance for a long time.
Based on organizational economics, this paper tries to clarify the nature and theoretical background of organization governance by the perspectives of exchange and production activities within and between organizations. Moreover, this paper further discusses the strategic perspectives of governance and the role of governance in strategy research to introduce the content and theoretical logics of organization governance issues in the five published paper of this special issue. Finally, we provide suggestions and conclusion for future studies.
