创业投资治理行为的选择——基于委托代理和资源依赖视角的检验

该文研究创业投资(VC)对所投资的新创企业(NE)治理行为的选择。首先根据委托代理理论、资源依赖理论,结合对创业投资干预行为的观察,将创业投资的治理行为划分为两类:价值保护和价值创造。接着分析了VC-NE关系类因素对于创业投资治理行为选择的影响。然后通过149个样本对该文的假设进行了实证验证。研究表明:创业投资价值保护和价值创造治理行为分别受到不同的影响,其中目标契合度和信任正向影响价值创造治理行为,而负向影响价值保护治理行为。关系冲突则正好相反。工作冲突不影响治理行为的选择。该研究对于VC更加理性地选择治理行为以及NE正确理解VC的干预有启示作用。
