Parent hostility and spin‐out performance
研究了母公司敌意（对衍生企业的不认可）如何影响衍生企业绩效，发现敌意会带来负面后果，但有效的网络发展能减轻这种影响。
Prior research has focused on the performance implications of positive or neutral parent‐child relationships, but neglected negative, conflict‐laden relationships. This study explores from an embeddedness perspective whether parent hostility (degree to which an incumbent firm disapproves of the spawning of a spin‐out from within its ranks) affects spin‐out performance and how spin‐outs can effectively react to it. Analyses of 144 technology spin‐outs support our arguments that spin‐outs suffer negative consequences from hostility. These are less severe, however, if the spin‐out pursues effective network development . Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
