Abstract: Abstract The literature review outlines a three-step procedure for analyzing corporate venture (CV) tools in the manufacturing industry. Firstly, a selection of general CV tools from the literature was identified. Secondly, tools specific to the manufacturing industry were derived, and their properties were explained. Lastly, the general tools were compared to the specific tools to identify differences. The analysis produced two key findings. Firstly, six perspectives that influence the development and design of CV instruments in the manufacturing industry were identified. These perspectives included development, resources, financing, innovation, and methods. Secondly, the specific CV tools discussed in the manufacturing industry were identified, as well as those that are currently underrepresented. The analysis provides valuable insights for manufacturing companies that want to invest in start-ups and innovation. By identifying instruments that complement each other and can be combined effectively, companies can better plan and implement their investments, ultimately leading to more successful outcomes. Overall, the article highlights the importance of a systematic approach to analyzing CV tools in the manufacturing industry. The identification of specific tools and their properties, as well as the perspectives that influence their development, can help companies to make informed decisions when investing in start-ups and innovation.
