<br/><br/> This study investigated how control mechanisms impacts knowledge transfer between a parent company and its new ventures in corporate venturing (CV). Based on the knowledge-based theory, we proposed that autonomy and incentive scheme may stimulate or eliminate knowledge flows in CV activity, and such relationships may be moderated by the extent to which CV activity is aimed at exploring new technologies/markets. Using a sample of 61 companies in both Japan and the United States, we found strong evidence that the impacts of autonomy and incentive schemes are contingent  upon various CV objectives.
