We find that, in general, R&D investments increase the number of CVC deals in an industry. We also find that R&D investment has a particularly strong influence on the use of CVC in industries that are growing rapidly and changing technologically. Our analysis provides greater clarity on the relationships involving R&D and CVC in the presence of contingencies by integrating insights of absorptive capacity and real options reasoning. %B Journal of Business Venturing %V 25 %P 376-388 %8 2010 %G eng %N 4 %2 a %4 83757111296 %$ 83757111296
