Abstract
State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) should contribute to the national economy. Using the structure of a limited liability company as the basis for their management, limited liability SOEs place the board of directors as company managers responsible for the interests and objectives of the enterprise. As business entities, limited liability SOEs utilize the state financial system to ensure that the public aspect remains inherent in their management. This paper aims at analyzing the position of the board of directors based on the Business Judgment Rule in managing limited liability SOEs. This research uses a normative juridical method supported by library data. It aims at identifying the application of the business judgment rule principle by the limited liability SOEs board of directors. The results show that the structure of a limited liability company as the basis of the management protects directors based on the Business Judgment Rule. However, based on the state financial regulations, limited liability SOEs funds are considered part of state funds. Therefore, the losses of limited liability SOEs are considered state losses, which causes ambiguity in applying the business judgment rule in managing limited liability SOEs.
