Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This paper evaluates how corporate venture capital investment can contribute to sustaining the competitiveness of large high technology concerns. In the first section the author sets the framework by explaining terminology in the context of technolgy and innovation as well as the market for technology companies. In addition, general issues regarding technology companies and their market environment are discussed. To obtain a means of evaluation, then issue of competitiveness of high technology concerns in the current market situation is examined in general. Competitiveness is discussed and explained by reviewing a substantial amout of literature along a framework developed by Feurer and Chaharbaghi. The chapter culminates in developing an approach to sustaining competitiveness for high technology concerns. As the aspects that determine competitiveness cover a broad spectrum, this section is the main part of the paper. Once an approach to sustaining competitiveness has been developed the third and last part examines in which way the efforts of high technology concerns to sustain competitiveness are advanced by corporate venture capital investment. Essentially, the conclusions drawn do not negate the effect of corporate venture capital, but set a limited and consise scope for corporate venture capital investment.

Diploma Thesis from the year 1999 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1.7, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Diese Arbeit bewertet, wie Investition in Corporate Venture Capital zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von großen Technologiekonzernen beitragen kann. Im ersten Abschnitt setzt der Autor den Rahmen für die Begrifflichkeiten im Kontext von Technologie und Innovation sowie der Firmen im Technologiemarkt. Zusätzlich werden grundlegende Thematiken die Technologiefirmen und deren Markt diskutiert. Um einen Ansatz zur Bewertung zu bekommen wird im zweiten Kapitel die Thematik der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Technologiekonzernen in der aktuellen Marksituation untersucht. Wettbewerbsfähigkeit wird diskutiert und erklärt in dem eine größere Menge an Sekundärliteratur entlang eines Models, das von Feurer und Chaharbaghi entwickelt wurde, herangezogen und verarbeitet wird. Aus dieser Diskussion ergibt sich ein genereller Ansatz in bezug auf die Erhaltung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Technologiekonzernen. Da die Aspekte, die die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit beeinflussen ein breites Spektrum abdecken, macht das zweite Kapitel den größten Anteil der Arbeit aus. Nachdem ein Ansatz zur Erhaltung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit entwickelt wurde, wird im dritten und letzten Kapitel untersucht, wie die Bemühungen von Technologiekonzernen zur Erhaltung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit durch Investition in Corporate Venture Capital unterstützt werden. Generell kann man sagen, daß in den Schlußfolgerungen der Effekt von Corporate Venture Capital nicht verneint wird, aber das Wirkungsspektrum in einen klaren eingegrenzten Rahmen gesetzt wird.
“An incisive history of the venture-capital industry.” —New Yorker “An excellent and original economic history of venture capital.” —Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution “A detailed, fact-filled account of America’s most celebrated moneymen.” —New Republic “Extremely interesting, readable, and informative...Tom Nicholas tells you most everything you ever wanted to know about the history of venture capital, from the financing of the whaling industry to the present multibillion-dollar venture funds.” —Arthur Rock “In principle, venture capital is where the ordinarily conservative, cynical domain of big money touches dreamy, long-shot enterprise. In practice, it has become the distinguishing big-business engine of our time...[A] first-rate history.” —New Yorker VC tells the riveting story of how the venture capital industry arose from America’s longstanding identification with entrepreneurship and risk-taking. Whether the venture is a whaling voyage setting sail from New Bedford or the latest Silicon Valley startup, VC is a state of mind as much as a way of doing business, exemplified by an appetite for seeking extreme financial rewards, a tolerance for failure and experimentation, and a faith in the promise of innovation to generate new wealth. Tom Nicholas’s authoritative history takes us on a roller coaster of entrepreneurial successes and setbacks. It describes how iconic firms like Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia invested in Genentech and Apple even as it tells the larger story of VC’s birth and evolution, revealing along the way why venture capital is such a quintessentially American institution—one that has proven difficult to recreate elsewhere.
The slowdown of growth in Western industrialized nations in the last twenty years, along with the rise of Japan as a major economic and technological power (and enhanced technical sophistication of Taiwan, Korea, and other NICs) has led to what the authors believe to be a "techno-nationalism." This combines a strong belief that technological capabilities of a nation;s firms are a key source of their competitive process, with a belief that these capabilities are in a sense national, and can be built by national action. This book is about these national systems of technical innovation. The heart of the work contains studies of seventeen countries--from large market-oriented industrialized ones to several smaller high income ones, including a number of newly industrialized states as well. Clearly written, this work highlights institutions and mechanisms which support technical innovation, showing similarities, differences, and their sources across nations, making this work accessible to students as well as the scholars of innovation.
