A resource‐based view of entrepreneurial spin‐outs

Abstract

We examine a rationale for entrepreneurial spin‐outs, when employing firms are not protected from expropriation by their employees, built on the resource‐based view of the firm. We consider a repeated innovations setting and develop the dynamics of the entrepreneurial spin‐out decision. The implications for the gradual development of a sector of activity are in line with existing empirical findings.
