Addressing the challenge of established companies to continuously innovate their competitive advantage for future profitable growth, the study identifies distinctive organizational characteristics in emerging types of corporate venturing units to act as vehicles for such strategic renewal. 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.
