コーポレートベンチャリングの新展開

－理論の拡張と日本における実践の多様化－

抄録

The purpose of this study is to construct a hypotheses of corporate venturing (CV), on the scope of the theory in Japan, and about the direction of Japanese companies’ practice. Therefore, we proposed a matrix utilizing the CV form (internal, cooperative, and external) on the vertical axis and the theoretical domain of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) (organization, strategic renewal, and innovation) on the horizontal axis, in an attempt to visualize the scope of the theory and practice. In this study, as a research method, a comparative case study is conducted for three Japanese companies with different business types and backgrounds. The conclusions drawn from this study include the following three points. First, the direction of CV theory and practice in Japan can be grasped more clearly by using a two by two matrix with the CV form (internal and external) and the theoretical domain of CE (strategic renewal and innovation). Second, the practice of CV in Japan is evolving from the internal CV area into two other areas: the “external / strategic renewal” area and the “external / innovation” area. Third, by combining innovation and financial research, CVs other than “internal / strategic renewal” in Japan can be explained more clearly.
