Bernhard Gold answers the question of how larger firms can learn from
the successes of Silicon Valley start-ups by means of corporate
venturing and by developing the 'Spin-Along Approach' - a method that

of large corporations to obtain the best of both worlds. Moreover, the
author provides an in-depth analysis of the Silicon Valley ecosystem and
presents new corporate innovation methods for the digital age, with the
aim of providing a final resolution to the 'Innovator's Dilemma'.
