Abstract

While much of the academic literature on spinouts focuses on new ventures launched by the ex-employees of incumbent firms within the same industry, recent research shows that spinouts may also enter a focal industry from “knowledge contexts” outside of the incumbent industry. In particular, recent studies show that spinouts may enter from both upstream and downstream industries related to a focal industry along the value chain. Such spinouts have been called user-industry and supplier-industry spinouts. In this article, evidence from existing studies is collected to provide an indication of the relevance of such spinouts across various industries. This survey also includes an analysis of industry studies in which user- and supplier-industry spinouts may have been present but were not identified as such by scholars due to a difference in focus. The paper then considers the evidence accumulated to date in order to explore the industry contexts in which these two types of spinouts appear and to develop propositions concerning differences in the entry timing and product/market strategies of these startups.

价值链上的员工分拆

虽然大部分关于分拆企业的学术文献都集中在同一行业内现有企业的前雇员创办的新企业上，但最近的研究表明，分拆企业也可能从现有行业以外的 "知识背景 "进入重点行业。特别是，最近的研究表明，分拆企业可能从价值链上与重点行业相关的上游和下游行业进入。这类分拆企业被称为用户产业分拆企业和供应商产业分拆企业。本文收集了现有研究的证据，以说明这种分拆在各行业中的相关性。这项调查还包括对行业研究的分析，在这些研究中，用户行业和供应商行业的分拆企业可能已经存在，但由于侧重点不同而未被学者确定为用户行业和供应商行业的分拆企业。然后，本文对迄今为止积累的证据进行了研究，以探讨出现这两类分拆企业的行业背景，并就这些初创企业在进入时机和产品/市场战略方面的差异提出了一些建议。
