Opportunity Spin-offs and Necessity Spin-offs
Necessity spin-offs are organized by employees of incumbent firms to escape deteriorating job conditions. This paper proposes a conceptual model of the spin-off process. Necessity spin-offs are distinguished from opportunity spin-offs on the basis of their triggering events. An empirical analysis of German laser spin-offs traces differences in the performance and determinants of the two types o...
متن کاملSpin-offs and spillovers: Tracing knowledge by following employees across firms
Most R&D projects fail from a commercial point of view, and technological shifts may quickly turn even successful innovations into failure. It is, however, possible that projects which fail commercially produce knowledge with some social value. Such knowledge is likely to be embodied in workers or teams of workers, and in order to evaluate the social returns to research, it is desirable to trac...
متن کاملOrganizational Factors Affecting the Growth and Success of Academic Spin-offs
The present study aimed to identify the organizational factors affecting the growth and success of academic spin-offs. The research was conducted based on a mixed method design and the study population consisted of experts of incubation centers and spin-offs. The participants were selected using purposive sampling in the qualitative part and random stratified sampling in the quantitative part. ...
متن کاملStrategic Spin-Offs
When a downstream producer enters backward into the input market, a “helping the rivals” effect exists: such entry hurts the firm’s downstream business as it increases upstream competition and thus reduces the input price for rival downstream firms. This negative externality prevents the newly-created upstream unit from expanding. A spin-off enables the firm to credibly expand in the input mark...
متن کاملVLSI spin-offs and technological innovation
Innovation often emerges from spin-offs and imitation. Semiconductor processing, as typified by Very Large Scale Integration, is a very mature, high-technology industry, capable of producing components with sub-micron features and extremely closely monitored and controlled chemical compositions. There are many spin-off technologies, some of which have already been adopted in the coatings and me...
