4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Tensions in Corporate-Startup Relationships
Summary of PhD Program:
The existing literature on corporate-startup tension has primarily developed within the empirical context of corporate venture capital and strategic alliances. For instance, it has focused on tensions arising from the misappropriation risk of intellectual property rights (i.e., the sharks dilemma), how open the parties should be in sharing vs. protecting knowledge with the partner (i.e., the openness paradox), or misaligned strategic orientations. However, there are tensions that the literature has not examined despite their existence within the phenomenon. Additionally, the literature has been silent about the theoretical drivers of tensions and lacks empirical evidence regarding which tension management strategies work and which do not.
