Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper studies the impact of venture capital’s tolerance for technological innovation failure on invested companies’ technological innovation performance using Chinese data. The results show that the higher venture capital’s tolerance for technological innovation failure, the better the performance of the company’s technological innovation. The heterogeneity of venture capital is further examined. We find venture capitals that invest jointly, with foreign-funded or governmental backgrounds can positively regulate the effect of tolerance on performance. However, in industries where innovation is of high difficulty, participation of government venture capital inhibits this effect. Our conclusions provide enlightenment for improving companies’ technological innovation performance.KEYWORDS: Venture capitaltechnological innovationtolerance for failureinnovation performanceVC heterogeneity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Anhui University of Finance and Economics [ACYC2020409]; Humanity and Social Science Research Project of Anhui Educational Committee [SK2019A0473]; Humanity and Social Science Research Project of Anhui Educational Committee [SK2020A0027].
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
