Abstract
CVC activity is such an important yet complicated issue. For solving the gap of literatures that from the view of venture firms was less paid attention, this research introduced knowledge-based view and resource dependence theory and focus upon venture firm’s knowledge based resources transferring and acquiring from their CVC parents. Data used in this research covered 855 global sample entries from 1968 to 2008, collected from SDC, compustat and USPTO database. Through empirical analyses, the relationship between parent firm’s involvement, venture firm’s absorptive capacity, its innovation performance and inter-firm differences between firms have been examined.omplying with theories and several literatures about organizational knowledge transfer, main effects of parent firms’ involvement and venture firms’ absorptive capacity on its innovation performance and moderating role of inter-firm difference is generally statistically supported. The stream of research on CVC activities was inherited. We finally gain more understanding about parent firms’ impact on their corporate venture children in several dimensions theoretically, and also acquire practical guidance for ventures that they are searching for ideal CVC parents or are wondering how to react with CVC activities for gaining more from it.
