Lidersoft

Luis Sanz and Mateo Lessiza

Journal of Business Research, 2013, vol. 66, issue 3, 456-462

Abstract: The teaching case focuses on the relationships between an entrepreneur, the initial investors (providing capital and human resources), and angel investors. By committing resources incrementally, the entrepreneur (Roy) eventually ends up with different shareholders having different expectations about the business. The case also explores the relationship between Lidersoft and IsThmus. This relationship exemplifies the archetypal corporate entrepreneurship dilemma: how to develop new businesses by taking advantage of synergies with existing ones, while integrating the newly created structure within the organization. In the case of Lidersoft and IsThmus, this became impossible.
