The Venture Capitalist: A Relationship Investor
基于案例研究，探讨风险投资家在企业管理中的角色，除资金外还提供运营服务、纪律、商业知识、网络和道德支持，并通过金钱、个人关系和正式权力影响管理者遵循其主导逻辑。
Based upon a series of case studies, this article explores the role of the venture capitalist in management. In addition to money, venture capitalists provide a variety of inputs to the firms in which they invest, such as operating services, discipline, general business knowledge, image, networks, and moral support. Venture capitalists have three sources of power over management—money, personal relationships, and formal power. They attempt to influence managers to follow their dominant logic, which generally stresses formal planning, a profit orientation, organizational development, patience, and strategic focus.
