Abstract

While complex, the synergy between startups and corporations offers a wealth of mutual benefits. This relationship, often viewed as a two-way street, involves not just startups gaining from corporations’ resources but also corporations benefiting from startups’ innovation and agility. The interdependence between startups and corporations, while potentially leading to a power imbalance, also presents an opportunity for both entities to grow. To gain a deep understanding, we asked why, what, and how and then outlined the involved components in the relationship between startups and corporations. We developed a systematic literature review (SLR) in two phases. The first one contemplates the period from 2015 to 2019. The second phase was carried out from 2020 until 2024. We used 71 academic references from the Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases. From these references, we constructed an emergent way framework that outlines the main stages of the way, including the motivation and the critical characteristics of collaboration. The framework also brings the most frequently observed relational path through the second phase of the SLR. The paper’s contribution paper is recognizing that each partnership is unique, and the framework is a starting point rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. The stages of the relationship outlined in the framework must be adapted to the specific context of the partnership. In essence, while the framework offers a valuable relational path, the success of corporate partnerships hinges on deciding which aspect these agents must work on to find a better solution in which to assimilate their collaboration.

新兴方式:企业-初创企业在塑造未来创新中的协同作用
初创企业与企业之间的协同作用虽然复杂,但却能带来丰富的互惠互利。这种关系通常被视为双向的,不仅初创企业从企业的资源中获益,而且企业也从初创企业的创新和灵活性中获益。初创企业与企业之间的相互依存关系,虽然有可能导致权力失衡,但也为双方的发展提供了机遇。为了深入理解,我们提出了 "为什么"、"是什么 "和 "怎么做 "的问题,然后概述了初创企业与公司之间关系的相关组成部分。我们分两个阶段进行了系统的文献综述(SLR)。第一阶段为 2015 年至 2019 年。第二阶段从 2020 年至 2024 年。我们使用了 Scopus 和 Web of Science (WOS) 数据库中的 71 篇学术参考文献。根据这些参考文献,我们构建了一个新兴方式框架,概述了合作方式的主要阶段,包括合作的动机和关键特征。该框架还通过 SLR 的第二阶段提出了最常观察到的关系路径。本文的贡献在于认识到每种伙伴关系都是独一无二的,该框架是一个起点,而不是一个放之四海而皆准的解决方案。框架中概述的关系阶段必须适应伙伴关系的具体情况。从本质上讲,虽然该框架提供了一个宝贵的关系路径,但企业伙伴关系的成功取决于决定这些代理人必须在哪个方面开展工作,以找到更好的解决方案来吸收他们的合作。

期刊介绍: Competition in international markets was traditionally the realm of large companies, with smaller firms tending to remain local or regional. Internationalisation was an expansion option of interest to some enterprises, but seldom was it a competitive necessity. Many opted to avoid the uncertainties of competing in foreign markets, and simply kept their firms small and local. Traditional internationalisation theories, therefore, focused mainly on large multinational corporations, and were less pertinent to smaller firms. With the liberalisation of trade, however, domestic firms are threatened by international competitors that are penetrating formerly protected markets. Nowadays, internationalisation affects everyone, whether or not they wish to internationalise themselves. The threats and opportunities of internationalisation must be addressed. Globalisation is transforming the competitive environment of small and large players alike. As a result, internationalisation issues will continue to be increasingly important to business. Public policy agendas already include programmes to help entrepreneurs become successful at internationalisation. There is a growing need to understand internationalisation in the context of entrepreneurship, as well as large multinationals. Knowledge of how, when and why firms internationalise - either incrementally or not - will surely be the focus of energetic researchers. Yet, up to now, academia has been lacking a journal dedicated to internationalisation issues. To fill this niche, the aforementioned editorial team wishes to offer an outlet for high-quality research addressing the opportunities and challenges intrinsic to internationalisation. The primary audience for this journal will be researchers of entrepreneurship and international business. In addition, readership is certain to include business-people and policy-makers. The editors invite submissions that analyse internationalisation, combining theore tical and empirical work. Researchers will be encouraged to conduct comparative studies, and to evaluate competing theories. The composition of the editorial team - including experts in international business and experts in entrepreneurship - is designed to avoid editorial bias. Every effort will be made to reach a first decision about a submission, within sixty days. Officially cited as: J Int Entrep
