New organizational forms for enhancing innovation: the case of internal corporate joint ventures
Article Abstract:
The use of internal corporate joint ventures (ICJV) was examined by quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing the factors most strongly related to the amount of innovativeness in 53 ICJVs consisting of hospital-physician group combinations. ICJVs have characteristics of both conventional joint ventures and internal corporate ventures. The results indicated that the three variables with the most significant relationship to innovation were the similarity in age of organizational members, the sponsoring organization's attitude toward innovation, and the ICJV's participation in integrative activities with the sponsor. Future research should focus on investigating nested innovation, or innovation within an innovative organization.
