Corporate Venture Capital

  • Chapter
Entrepreneurial Finance

Abstract

Mit dem Begriff „Corporate Venture Capital“ bzw. „Corporate Venturing“ bezeichnet man die Finanzierung von Gründungsunternehmen durch Großunternehmen. Diese Finanzierung erfolgt im hier betrachteten Fall nicht direkt, sondern über eine spezielle Corporate Venture Capital-Gesellschaft. In Deutschland handelt es sich beim Corporate Venture Capital um ein vergleichsweise neues Phänomen, in den USA gibt es vergleichbare Aktivitäten seit Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Mit der Errichtung einer Corporate Venture Capital-Gesellschaft verfolgen Großunternehmen finanzielle und strategische Ziele. Durch den mehrstufigen Aufbau und die zum Teil unterschiedlichen Interessen der Beteiligten entstehen jedoch erhebliche Principal Agent-Probleme, die durch geeignete Anreiz- und Kontrollmechanismen zu lösen sind. Aus den bisherigen theoretischen und empirischen Studien lassen sich vergleichsweise eindeutige Gestaltungsempfehlungen ableiten, denen die in Deutschland aktiven Corporate Venture Capital-Programme jedoch in vielerlei Hinsicht nicht entsprechen.
