Corporate Venturing is recognized as an important mechanism for creating innovation and new business in established firms and has received increasing academic attention.  The purpose of this workshop was to take stock and further develop this line of research.  The workshop consisted of a panel that  identified important research questions in corporate venturing and a developmental workshop in which key contributors to this research stream  provided feedback on draft manuscripts dealing with corporate venturing.

Panel members included: Gary Dushnitsky (Wharton), Thomas Keil (Helsinki U. of Technology), Riitta Katila (Stanford U), Suresh B Kotha (U.  Of Washington), Michael Lenox (Duke U.), Markku VJ Maula (Helsinki U. of Technology), Corey Phelps (U.  Of Washington), Shaker A. Zahra (U.  Of Minnesota), Rosemarie Ziedonis (U.  Of Michigan).
