“…Following this, we applied an inductive analysis supplementing the deductive lists with additional words and phrases directly stemming from the extracted mission statements. The combination of inductively and deductively derived word lists is commonly used in the field of organizational studies (Duriau et al 2007;Moss et al 2014;Wolfe and Shepherd 2015;Zachary et al 2011a) and helps to forge links between theoretically driven research branches and more practically orientated ones (Short et al 2010;Van De Ven and Johnson 2006). Table 1 reports the full lists of all deductively and inductively derived words.…”

“…The approach ensures the closest possible fit between our research question and the type of documents used, as recommended by Duriau et al (2007). Accordingly, the following website information sources were included: Message from the CEO, About Us, Who We Are, Our Approach, Our Mission or alternatively a CVC unit's description of itself found in press releases.…”

A world of difference? The impact of corporate venture capitalists’ investment motivation on startup valuation

et al. 2017

Corporate venture capital (CVC) investors are regularly painted with the same brush, a fact underscored by the often observed belief in the extant literature that corporate venture capitalists (CVCs) form a homogeneous group. In contrast to this simplifying perspective, this paper categorizes CVCs into subgroups by examining their levels of strategic and financial investment motivation using computer-aided text analysis and cluster analysis. To validate the resulting clusters, this paper studies the impact of CVC type on startup valuation from an intra-group perspective by applying hierarchical linear modeling, thus illustrating which particular investment motivation might be preferable to others in the context of negotiating valuations. An empirical analysis of 52 CVC mission statements and 147 startup valuations between January 2009 and January 2016 revealed that first, CVCs with a strategic investment motivation assign lower startup valuations than CVCs with an analytic motivation that have moderate levels of the two scrutinized dimensions, suggesting that entrepreneurs trade off these CVCs' value-adding contributions against a valuation discount; second, CVCs with an unfocused investment motivation pay significantly higher purchase prices, thus supporting the hypothesis that they have a so-called liability of vacillation; and third, the valuations of CVCs with a financial investment motive are not significantly different from JEL Classification C12 Á C30 Á C38 Á G24 Á G32 Á M13

Findings -We identify and discuss the importance of 10 roles played by IPOs and 12 required resources/capabilities. Furthermore, considering the changes that occurred to these IPOs over a five-year period (2007-2012), we observe three distinct evolutionary behaviours (i.e. 'overall development', 'selective development', and 'stable configuration') and highlight three contingent factors that jointly affect these behaviours (i.e. the architectural and technological complexity of the sourced items, annual volume sourced abroad, and experience in the foreign context).Originality/value -This paper contributes to the resource-based view of the firm in a global sourcing context by highlighting the resources/capabilities required by IPOs and discussing their characteristics. Furthermore, it proposes a typology of IPO micro-organisational evolutionary behaviours. Finally, it applies contingency theory and identifies three factors that might affect the evolutionary behaviours.

“…Manual content analysis Duriau et al (2007) performed a content analysis on the content analysis literature in organisation studies. Having listed the advantages of computer aided textual analysis over manual methods (larger data sets, reliability, speed, lower cost), they express surprise that only 24 of the 98 papers they analysed report using computers for part or all of the content analysis.…”

Publication informationAccounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal, 22 (5) disclosures. An impression management bias score is devised to capture the extent to which impression management introduces bias into corporate narratives. An example of the application of the composite impression management score and impression management bias score methodology is provided.Findings -While not amounting to systematic evidence, the 21 illustrative examples suggest that impression management is pervasive in corporate financial communications using multiple impression management methods, such that positive information is exaggerated, while negative information is either ignored or is underplayed.Originality/value -Four impression management methods are described in detail, illustrated by 21 examples. These four methods are examined together. New impression management methods are studied in this paper for the first time. This paper extends prior impression management measures in two ways. First, a composite impression management score based on four impression management techniques is articulated. Second, the composite impression management score methodology is extended to capture a measure for bias, in the form of an impression management bias score. This is the first time outside the US that narrative disclosures in press releases have been studied.
