This book offers a distinctive analysis of the relations and interplay between the internal activities of firms, their changing boundaries, and increasing reliance on networks and alliances with other firms.The contributors offer a blend of theoretical and empirical studies; they are based on a set of related perspectives in modern economics, including transaction cost economics, competence and resource-based theories of the firm, evolutionary economics and the theories of foreign direct investments and the multinational enterprise.

Abstract
Founders' human capital and venture capital (VC) are two fundamental ingredients for new venture success in high‐tech sectors. We jointly investigate their influence on the growth performance of a large sample of Italian high‐tech start‐ups and find:
the importance of both components;
some characteristics of founders' human capital also exert an indirect rather than a direct effect on growth by attracting VC;
the 'coach' function performed by Italian venture capitalists on invested companies is important;
a substitution rather than a complementary relationship exists between these two drivers of firm growth.

AbstractWe study the delegation of authority over strategic decisions in startups and how it relates to venture capital (VC) investment through a mixed-methods study. We first show that startups typically centralize decision authority. The extent of delegation is higher if startups are VC-backed. In startups backed by corporate VC investors the aim is to leverage the unique knowledge possessed by entrepreneurial team members in a context characterized by low principal-principal agency costs. In those backed by independent VC investors, the increase in delegation is paired with the emergence of a polyarchy and decoupling between the formal and real organizations. In this situation delegation may serve as a control mechanism aligning the actions of startups with the interests of the VC investors.
