The main research question that this research seeks to answer is: What are the factors that are perceived to be important for the performance of venturing units at Dutch distribution network operators? Factors found in the literature that impact the performance of this venturing units can be divided into three parts: factors from an organizational perspective, factors related to the venturing unit and factors that relate to the venture itself. Interviews were conducted at the three largest DSO’s (Alliander, Enexis and Stedin) to assess whether these organizational and venturing unit related factors influence their corporate venturing performance. At four ventures (Allego, Hoom, EXE and LOCOL) that were initiated by Alliander interviews were conducted to find venturing unit related and venture related factors that are perceived to be important for the performance of venturing units from their perspective.
