Abstract

When acting as an intermediary, corporate venture capital (CVC) units must balance two different institutional settings: the rigid corporate world and the advancing startup ecosystem. As a result, CVC units are faced with multiple voids that influence their organizational orientation toward one environment. This study employs text analysis on a unique sample of 22 CVC dyads to introduce a novel empirical way of measuring isomorphic variation over time. Following a mixed-method approach, the quantitative results are used to shed light on potential drivers of isomorphism, compiled by semi-structured interviews. The findings demonstrate that the degree of isomorphism is not only determined by decisions made during the initial phase of a CVC unit but also from mimetic processes that occur within the life span of such investment vehicles. The study thereby contributes to the ongoing academic discussion by elucidating potential drivers of isomorphism and provides researchers with a novel way to measure isomorphic tendencies based on organizational text excerpts.
