AbstractIn an attempt to become more flexible and responsive, corporates increasingly collaborate with start-ups. By doing so, corporates hope to make a transition towards a more entrepreneurial organization or to rejuvenate their organizational culture and working practices. We present the results of a multiple case study in which we compare eight corporate—start-up collaborations that achieved different success rates in terms of promoting corporate renewal. Our focus is on the corporate individuals that participate in the collaboration and we combine literature on corporate entrepreneurship with institutional theory to study the conditions under which these individuals are more likely to exhort transformational agency and to contribute to renewal. Our results indicate that the effect of corporate—start-up collaborations on renewal is mediated by two individual-level mechanisms: reflexivity and intrinsic motivation. In addition, we identify several organizational contingencies that affect both the likelihood that corporate individuals adopt a reflexive orientation and are intrinsically motivated as well as the likelihood that their transformational efforts are successful.

Purpose Starting from corporate entrepreneurship, spin-off entrepreneurship and business model theory, this paper aims to examine the key influential factors and inherent mechanism in the process of business model transfer from parent enterprise to spin-off start-ups. Design/methodology/approach Grounded theory method is fit for constructing theoretical models, which can discover and interpret phenomenon and activities. According to the guidance of theoretical sampling and other core principles in grounded theory, this study extracts two parent enterprises named Haier and Phnix and lots of spin-offs derived from them. Findings This paper presents the theoretical framework that business models transfer from parents to spin-offs and probes into the embedding logic and connection relationship between factors and categories in this process, such as preconditions, incubation veins, business model elements, stripping mechanism and independent operations. Research limitations/implications Although this study is focused on the manufacturing industry, the main characteristics, comparative advantages, governance rules summarized from transfer activities of business model in spin-off entrepreneurship can also bring inspirations to both parent enterprises and spin-off start-ups. Originality/value Excavates process and mechanism of business model transfer from internal to external, extends the theoretical perspectives about existing related theories such as corporate entrepreneurship, spin-off entrepreneurship and business model theory and reveals new approaches and methods on business model design, which is different from the past way.

O aumento do acesso às tecnologias de informação e comunicação, o desenvolvimento da inteligência artificial, do aprendizado de máquina, da robótica, da biotecnologia, da internet das coisas, da internet dos serviços e uma variedade de inovações advindas do emergente ecossistema de start ups oportuniza a ampliação da oferta de serviços de telemedicina e telessaúde, em diferentes formas e especialidades. Neste cenário, há que se utilizar, da melhor forma possível, essa variedade de tecnologia para promover as melhores práticas, as mais seguras e as de melhor alcance à população alvo, por meio de serviços estruturados de teleassistência, telediagnóstico e teleducação, evitando-se encaminhamentos desnecessários, aumentando agilidade na entrega de resultados de exames, no agendamento e nas consultas com especialistas, diluindo-se a taxa de hospitalização, dentre outras. Toda essa tecnologia pode assumir valores expressivos do ponto de vista financeiro, o que pode impactar tanto positiva quanto negativamente. A expectativa de quem investe é também gerar economia de recursos com a utilização de tais ferramentas, a fim de alcançar sustentabilidade do serviço. Este artigo tem o objetivo de levantar e analisar a literatura produzida nos últimos cinco anos, sobre a sustentabilidade de serviços de telemedicina e telessaúde no contexto da assistência, assumindo a perspectiva do provedor de serviços.
