Research purpose
…to examine the role of multibusiness corporations in the development of young industries
= when a multibusiness corporation enters a young industry (e.g. through a corporate child firm),

Proposed Model
Structurally embeddedness of technical knowledge
= the knowledge a firm possesses and the ways it seeks new knowledge
