問 5
Incorrectア
A method of establishing a jointly funded company together with other companies for the purpose of acquiring new technology or pursuing economies of scale is a description of a “joint venture,” which differs from venture capital, an investment company that aims for profit through investment.
- イ
正解 Venture capital (VC) refers to an investment company or fund whose purpose is to invest funds in startup companies or unlisted companies that are expected to grow rapidly, and then, once those companies grow to the stage of an initial public offering (IPO) or sale, to sell the shares it holds and earn the gain in value (capital gain). Choice イ states that it is “a company that, for purposes such as gaining profit by selling shares, provides investment and other support to companies trying to enter a market with new products or services as their weapon,” which is exactly the definition of VC itself, so it is the most appropriate.
Incorrectウ
A method of forming co-creation relationships with external organizations such as the state, academic institutions, and other companies, exchanging technology and resources and incorporating them into one's own company, is a description of “open innovation,” which differs from venture capital, which aims to gain profit through capital investment.
Incorrectエ
An organization that is set up within a company for a fixed period to solve a specified problem, gathering members from related departments and being dissolved once the objective is achieved, is a description of a “task force (project team),” which differs from venture capital, an investment company that invests in external startup companies.
ここがポイント
- Venture capital (VC) = an investment company or fund that invests in unlisted startup companies expected to grow, aiming for the gain in value (capital gain) at the time of an IPO or sale.
- Distinguishing similar terms: do not confuse it with a joint venture (a company jointly funded with other companies), open innovation (co-creation with external parties), or a task force (a temporary organization within the company).
