Corporate venture capital organizations in Germany: a comparison

Arbeitspapier

This paper analyzes the goals, the organizational structures and processes, and the investment criteria that underlie venture strategies in Germany today, using a sample of 20 corporate venture capital organizations (CVCs). The performance of these CVCs is examined and the data are compared with those generated by studies on German independent venture capital organizations (VCs) as well as with European and U.S. CVCs. The study concludes that German CVCs focusing either on financial or on strategic objectives are more successful than those with a mixed approach. Further, CVCs with a strong financial focus seem to be financially - and sometimes also strategically - more successful than CVCs with a strong strategic focus. Finally, based on these findings, theses concerning the CVC's organizational learning are developed.
