Silicon Valley

Bernhard Gold answers the question of how larger firms can learn from the successes of Silicon Valley start-ups by means of corporate venturing and by developing the ‘Spin-Along Approach’ – a method that combines the innovativeness of start-up companies with the capabilities of large corporations to obtain the best of both worlds.

The author finds that the Chinese management models, in comparison, may be even more advanced. If true, this could have profound implications for managers everywhere.
