Technology Ventures: From Idea to EnterpriseChapter 8: Summary
Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
What forms do new businesses take and what are corporate ventures?
The appropriate legal and organizational format used to organize a new venture will vary according to several factors such as context, people, legal and tax consequences, and cultural norms. New ventures can range from small businesses or consulting services to high-growth, high-potential enterprises. Other organizations start out operating in a niche market and grow into a broader one. An important contrast to these independent ventures is the corporate new venture. It emerges within larger existing enterprises and is granted autonomy so it can fulfill its promise.
