本文探讨了垂直分拆，定义为新的和独立的企业成立的前雇员建立的公司在上游或下游行业。这些衍生企业代表了一种组织结构，通过这种结构，知识在垂直相关的行业之间共享和转移。我们建议，他们的形成和他们的成功业绩的一个关键决定因素是上下文的知识，他们继承从他们的进入前的经验，在垂直相关的行业。我们研究了三个垂直相关行业在10年内的分拆进入和绩效：半导体，电信设备和电信网络/连接。我们的研究结果表明，垂直分拆在这些相关行业的初创公司中占很大比例，并且它们比其他新进入者更有可能生存下来。我们讨论了我们的研究结果对创业和行业动态文献的影响。
This article examines vertical spinouts, defined as new and independent ventures founded by the ex-employees of established firms in either an upstream or a downstream industry. These spinouts represent a type of organizational structure through which knowledge is shared and transferred between vertically related industries. We propose that a key determinant of both their formation and their successful performance is the contextual knowledge that they inherit from their pre-entry experience in a vertically related industry. We examine spinout entry and performance in three vertically related industries over a 10-year period: semiconductors, telecommunications equipment, and telecommunications networks/connectivity. Our results show that vertical spinouts constitute a significant share of startups in these related industries and that they are more likely to survive than otherde novoentrants. We discuss the implications of our findings for the literatures on entrepreneurship and industry dynamics.
