New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) learn their business in the early-stages of their life-cycle. As a central element of the entrepreneurial learning process, the business model describes the value-creation functions that are conceptualized in different stages of the NTBF’s life-cycle. Transaction relations connect the model with the business reality and ideally mature in strength over time to a functioning value-network. This chapter describes the development of a research design that determines, extracts, and evaluates semantics constructs of this entrepreneurial learning out of a convenient sample and three cohorts of business plans submitted to a business plan award between 2008 and 2010. The analysis shows empirical evidence for the survival and growth of those NTBFs that exhibit a balanced status of entrepreneurial learning in the maturity of the value-network that can be characterized as early startup-stage. The empirical findings of the network theory based business plan analysis will allow for a better explanation of the performance in the entrepreneurial process that is discussed for NTBFs based on theory of organizational learning.
The Role of Support-Activities for the successful Implementation of Internal Corporate Accelerators
(2018)
Corporate venturing has gained much attention due
to challenges and changes that occur because of discontinuous
innovations – which seem to be promoted by digitalization. In this
context, open innovation has become a promising tool for
established companies to strengthen their innovation capabilities.
While the external opening of the innovation process has gained
much attention, the internal opening lacks on investigations.
Especially new organizational forms, such as Internal Corporate
Accelerators, have not been investigated sufficiently. This study,
which is based on 13 interviews from two German tech-companies,
contributes to a better understanding of this new form of corporate
venturing and the resulting effects on the organizational renewal.
