Corporate venture funds are venture capital funds financed pardy or entirely by industrial companies. They are ideally managed using the same financial criteria as venture capitalists would apply but, in addition, they have a strong relationship with their industrial investors. The startups funded then benefit from the investors industry knowledge, while the industrial investors not only receive a financial return but also better information from the market to use in external and internal investment decisions. They can provide access to new technologies and allow companies to build an external network by, for example, cooperating with a number of different startups. This has given some corporations access to important deals in return for a relatively small investment. [Pg.117]

The evolution of the profitable chemical businesses in three of the oldest and largest American industrial companies provides quite a different perspective on interindustry competition than the evolution of the petrochemical businesses of the petroleum companies. General Electric, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, and Eastman Kodak each created their learning base in chemicals to provide essential ingredients for the production of their primary product lines. They then improved the initial products they had commercialized and developed new related specialty products primarily through internal investment. [Pg.160]

In the mid-2000s, the Iranian political relationship with the international community (and especially the United States) has become increasingly difficult. The Ahmedinejad regime has had regular verbal confrontations with OECD countries on issues ranging from nuclear power development to the existence of Israel. Should a reference to the UN Security Council, in relation to nuclear materials, lead to international sanctions being imposed on Iran, then most (if not all) substantial international investments in Iranian gas projects would become impossible. [Pg.69]
