PhD defence - Between Technological Turbulence and Operational Stability
Based on the dynamic competence theory the thesis explores how established firms can stay - or become - innovative by using corporate venturing. The empirical study indicates that different types of competences are produced during the corporate venturing activities, but that the most significant contribution from corporate venturing might be the production of improved integrative competences and emergent learning
