In a first part, we build a typology on CVC objectives based on a literature review. Then we apply this typology to carmakers’ CVC programs. We study 13 worldwide car manufacturers. Results show a poor interest of car makers vis-à-vis CVC programs. However, the existing programs show that strategic objectives are the most common objectives even if some others objectives are also pursued, like the “relational objective”. Summarizing the results, we identify four typical behaviors of carmakers vis-à-vis CVC programs. We conclude by a discussion about the automotive industry specificity, and we call upon other sectoral studies based on a qualitative method.The diversity of carmakers' behaviors vis-a-vis the Corporate Venture Capital | | Keyword(s): | Corporate Venture Capital, CVC, Innovation, Automotive, Investment strategy, Entrepreneurial Finance | | Auteur(s) : | Vincent FRIGANT, Marina FLAMAND | | JEL Class.: | G3, G34, L62, M13 | Tlcharger le cahier Retour la liste des Cahier du GRETHA (2015) |
