Abstract:     
Learning and increased innovation are often mentioned as some of the key benefits from corporate venturing for corporations. However, little research exists that would analyze whether there are systematic differences in learning outcomes across different governance modes. In this paper, we systematically analyze how the governance choice between different external corporate venturing modes (i.e. corporate venture capital investments, alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions) influences the learning outcomes from corporate venturing. Based on learning theory, we develop hypotheses predicting how the characteristics of these governance modes affect learning outcomes in the corporation.
