Abstract

This paper summarises on-going research that seeks to improve understanding and practice in the use of partnerships between technology-based start-ups and established firms, drawing upon evidence from technology-based start-ups operating in Cambridge, U.K. The paper presents the rationale for this project, and seeks to place this topic within the wider literature on the use of partnerships. From this review of existing research, the resource-based view on partnerships is identified as a useful tool to help us understand the motives and operations of the partnerships between technology start-ups and established firms. The initial case studies allow us to structure the emerging issues around the five themes. Discussion of these themes focuses thinking for the next stages of the research which will map the different approaches taken by established firms to working with technology-based start-ups, and the views of investors into technology start-ups.
