Abstract:

Corporate venture capital (CVC) investment has become an important source of critical resources to corporate investors and invested ventures alike. However, while extant CVC research has documented the ex ante considerations for tie formation and ex post consequences of established ties, the intertemporal process between the formation and termination of CVC ties has been largely neglected. Possessing strategic objective on technology learning, CVC periodically reevaluates opportunities for internalizing new knowledge via further engagements, which goes beyond the venture’s prospects that independent venture capitalists primarily base their termination decisions upon. Applying a resource dependency framework, we theorized how the corporate investor’s technology achievement, as reflected in newly granted patents, explains the future likelihood of investment termination. We also explored how this investment dynamic is contingent on venture, corporate and dyadic level factors that alter interdependence in the dyad, which are manifested in venture new technology, corporate technology breadth and product market similarity respectively. Using a combined dataset on 2,525 CVC-venture dyads and corresponding organizational technology portfolios, we found support for our hypotheses.
