Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explain successful product and service innovation by spin-offs from public research centres and to investigate how innovativeness, stage of development, market knowledge and parent support influence the market entry and the long term market performance of spin-offs. The results demonstrate a positive effect of the characteristics of the spin-off idea on innovation success. As settled by the resource based view of the firm the technological base is a resource that notably matters during market entry and beyond. The newness and exclusiveness of the starting idea, and the amount of technology transfer have a positive effect on the formation of competitive advantages and on innovation success.
