Knowledge relatedness and post-spin-off growth
Open accessAbstract
Abstract In this article, we examine the effects of knowledge relatedness on the post-spin-off growth of firms spun off from industrial parent firms. We predict that growth is maximized when the knowledge base of the spin-off firm partially overlaps with that of its parent. This effect is due to learning: both too small and too great an overlap will inhibit growth, the first because limited knowledge overlap hampers local search and knowledge assimilation and the second because great knowledge overlap hampers the creation of novel knowledge combinations. The propositions are tested and confirmed using a sample of 54 industrial spin-off firms from Finland.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
