Abstract [sv]

Corporations` long-term survival depends on their ability to develop radical ideas into commercial innovations. Corporations have tried to encourage these innovations by separating the development of new ventures from the day-to-day business. Internal Corporate Venturing (ICV) has in general resulted in failure and termination. The purpose of this study was to survey ICV and why this kind of businesses often results in failure and termination. We made a case study at Ericsson AB, to find out why they chose to terminate their ICV unit, Ericsson Business Innovation (EBI). The result of the study can be summarized in five factors that are especially important for ICV to survive. The purpose of ICV must be univocal and clearly formulated. ICV require support and faith from the company management. ICV require uniformed and attractive reward systems. The purpose of ICV determines its structure. ICV follows the public equity market and its cyclic pattern.
