• W2061818085 abstract "The author proposes a classification framework for factors that affect corporate venture success. Then, a database of 37 new venture investments by Exxon, including 18 venture capital investments, is analyzed for insight into the relative affect of these factors on venture technical and financial success. This article presents a statistical analysis of those factors which were quantified. As a group the venture capital investments were financially far more successful for Exxon than the internally initiated ventures. This striking difference stimulated the retrospective analysis reported here. The author was in a position to observe the program over its entire life span and had first-hand knowledge of each venture's technology, markets, and personnel. Because of the mix of venture capital and internal investments, the author was also in a position to compare the two modes of investment. Factors affecting venture success are broadly classified as extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic or environmental factors are those determined by the form of investment sponsorship (e.g., corporate or venture capital) and the characteristics of the investment sponsor. Extrinsic factors are segregated into two categories: structural and procedural. These factors are defined as the degree of difference between the corporate and venture environment in each category. The four structural factors (technology, market, organization, and people) are summed up as the overall degree of structural congruence. The author postulates that the degree of congruence is directly related to venture success within the corporation. To take the corporation into new markets some incongruence is required. Too much incongruence probably pushes the risk of failure too high. The corporation's procedures for management of this incongruence will determine the degree to which it can successfully diversify its business. The four procedural factors (control, selection of venture managers, incentive compensation, and financing) are dealt with as differences between the corporate environment and an independent venture environment. Major differences in procedural factors usually exist between corporate and venture capital sponsored ventures. They probably explain to some extent the relative greater financial success of the Exxon venture capital investments as a group. However, the statistical analysis results indicate that the identified intrinsic factors are more important in explaining relative venture success. Intrinsic factors are those inherent to the venture itself, and are subdivided into two categories: product related (market and technical risk levels) and managerial (relative experience levels). Each of the 37 Exxon ventures was rated for success and for the intrinsic factors using a simple ordinal range of 3 to 6 values. The product related risk factors showed a significant inverse correlation with financial success. The level of venture managers' prior experience in the venture's target market area and their level of prior general managerial experience showed an even greater correlation with financial success. The sample correlation coefficient between the financial success rating SF and the sum of the ratings for prior marketing and managerial experience (XS + XM) was 0.809 with a standard error of only 0.105. Selection of the influential extrinsic and intrinsic factors is largely within the control of corporate management. An approach to selection of these factors similar to that used by private venture capital fund managers should greatly improve the overall success of internal corporate ventures." @default.
