A firm’s investment decision is not made at a random, but is mangers to self-select into their preferred strategies. In other words, there is a potential of self-selection bias in investment decision. If the self-selection bias is not taken into account then any conclusions drawn may be invalid. Hence, this study controls self-selection bias via Heckman’s two-stage decision model. The first stage, this study utilizes a Probit model to examine a firm’s board government how to influence its investment decision for 1914 samples of publicly traded electronics industry.

The second stage, this study found that there is a positive relationship between firm’s investment and performance when the self-selection bias has been controlled.
