Some conclusions were drawn from the research: established companies make use of corporate venture capital to realize value creation only under the conditions that the corporate investor has had a certain level firm value, and there exists a U-shaped relationship between CVCPD and CIFV. Furthermore, the U-shaped relationship was moderated positively by the corporate investor’s OS. However, the different corporate investors’ firm value level the different moderating effects of the OS, so the different extreme points of CVCPD. So the incumbent firms should adopt different investment strategies in line with the level of OS and firm value.
