Abstract: | We systematically review the past four decades of research on tensions in corporate venture capital (CVC) and inductively identify three main tensions: (1) multiple stakeholders championing CVC-based exploration versus core business-focused exploitation, (2) CVC programs simultaneously belonging to the corporate parent versus the startup/venture capital (VC) world, and (3) startups and VCs viewing CVC programs as a threat versus an opportunity. By combining the understanding of the CVC phenomenon with that of the paradox literature, we expand our understanding of why, how, and when contradictory goals and multiple stakeholder expectations result in tensions and how these tensions can be managed. |
