Using theoretical sampling, the cross-case analysis of semi-structured interviews and archival data from 29 established European companies uncovers different types of corporate venturing units and along main differentiating dimensions. These findings clarify how established companies can potentially leverage ‘strategic corporate venturing’ to renew their competitive advantage by creating organizationally relevant new business.
