Comparative Advantages of Spinoff Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective

Comparative Advantages of Spinoff Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective

As predicted by evolutionary economics, historical antecedents matter when it comes to the relationship between survival of entrants and organizational capabilities. Spinoff firms provide an exemplary case of such relationship where the founders’ pre-entry capabilities that are inherited from the pa...
