This paper focuses on the collaboration practices between spin-offs and their customers and suppliers. With empirical material from seven cases of incumbent-backed spin-offs, we find that suppliers are highly involved in the development of the innovation that spin-offs are based upon and specifically, the practices of understanding customers, identifying a market gap and collaborating with suppliers. We contribute to the spin-off literature by revealing which activities are at play for successful spin-offs, and we contribute to practice theory by empirically uncovering the general understandings in the perpetuation of an organization and the nets between the spin-offs and their suppliers.

Artykuł dotyczy współpracy pomiędzy firmami spin-off a ich klientami i dostawcami. Materiał empiryczny dotyczący siedmiu przypadków firm spin-off wspieranych przez tradycyjnych uczestników branży, wskazano że dostawcy są w znaczącym stopniu zaangażowani w rozwój innowacji, na których opierają się firmy spin-off, jak również omówiono praktyki rozumienia klientów, identyfikowania luk rynkowych i współpracy z dostawcami. Wkład do literatury dotyczącej spółek odpryskowych polega na identyfikacji działań, które przyczyniają się do sukcesu spin-offów, pozwalając na pogłębienie zrozumienia sposobów utrwalania organizacji i sieci relacji pomiędzy spin-offami i ich dostawcami.
