This chapter provides a framework for understanding the diverse types of spin-outs and how they collaborate with the parent organizations from which their founders came. It organizes the still-growing literature on types of spin-outs based on (a) the previous employment sector of spin-out entrepreneurs and (b) the parental involvement in the spin-out process. Both factors affect employee entrepreneurs’ motives for creating spin-outs, the spin-outs’ inheritance of capabilities, and subsequent performance. The chapter also relates the types of spin-outs with the variety of collaborative relationships between a spin-out firm and its parent organization at both the interorganizational and interpersonal levels. It describes research directions based on the subtle yet conceptually and managerially significant differences between the types of spin-outs, and based on the corresponding variety in their patterns or modes of collaborative relationships with parents.

This chapter presents an overview of the literature on collaborative relationships between start-ups and incumbent firms, focusing on the implications of these relationships for start-up innovation and performance. Value creation in such relationships occurs when assets are exchanged by the parties involved. Collaboration allows for passive knowledge flows and active knowledge creation. In addition, collaboration provides start-ups with access to the complementary assets of the incumbent. At the same time, value creation presents opportunities for value capture by either party, where value capture by the start-up is a consequence of the broader knowledge appropriation regime and the start-up’s own social capital. The form in which the start-up appropriates value has implications for the assets that enable value creation. The framework for value creation and capture in bilateral start-up–incumbent collaborations extends to start-up–incumbent collaborations in a platform and ecosystem context, where there are fruitful future research opportunities.
