    Abstract: En 2010 hubo 35 empresas (entre 125) con rentabilidad positiva. Considerando conjuntamente los años 2008, 2009 y 2010, sólo 13 empresas tuvieron rentabilidad positiva. Las 125 empresas destruyeron valor para sus accionistas por importe de ¿117 millardos. Inditex fue la empresa que más valor creó para sus accionistas en 2010 y en el periodo 2008-2010. Iberia la más rentable más rentable en 2010. Pero la crisis de España-país es mucho más seria de lo que nos indican los datos de la bolsa. Esta "crisis" se superará cuando el sentido común, el trabajo bien hecho, la competencia profesional y la veracidad vuelvan a ser la tónica dominante en la sociedad (dirigentes políticos, directivos de empresas, organismos reguladores, empleados¿). Los anexos 4 y 5 son parte de un trabajo sobre la crisis española que se está terminando y que esperamos publicar si no se produce antes la intervención de España.

    Abstract: La creación de valor para los accionistas del IBEX 35 en 2010 fue -¿87 millardos (en 2009 fue ¿97 y en 2008 -¿238) y la rentabilidad (teniendo en cuenta los dividendos) fue -12,9% (en 2009 38,3% y en 2008 -36,5%). Entre 1991 y 2010 la creación de valor para los accionistas fue ¿23 millardos y la rentabilidad media 11%, aunque una parte importante de ésta (un 2,9%) se debió al descenso de los tipos de interés en el periodo. Las empresas pequeñas fueron más rentables (en media) que las grandes: la rentabilidad media del ITBM (11,8%) fue superior a la del IBEX 35 (11%). El volumen de negociación de las empresas del IBEX 35 supuso más del 95% de la negociación del mercado continuo. Las 6 mayores empresas supusieron el 71% de la capitalización y las 18 más pequeñas el 10%. También se analiza la evolución del IGBM desde 1940 y del S&P 500 desde 1926.

    Abstract: New Technology Based Firms (NTBFs) are considered to contribute significantly to the economy. As a result, these firms have received extensive attention from academics over the past decades. Given that NTBFs are faced with many challenges and liabilities, the academic literature has tried to identify how public policy measures could help to overcome challenges related to innovation, amongst others by identifying NTBFs’ needs for innovation support services. Our study contributes to this stream of research by exploring the determinants of the need for innovation support services. We find that technology-related services are highly needed by VC-backed companies, whereas market-related services are searched for by NTBFs in an early development stage pursuing a strategy of playing on the product market. Further, financial-related services were needed by NTBFs with a high level of informal protection, in an early development stage and targeting at playing on a technology market. Finally, soft services were looked for by teams with high levels of technical human capital, in an early development stage, and pursuing a product market strategy.

    Abstract: This paper studies how cross-border venture capital investors as opposed to domestic venture capital investors influence the development of their portfolio companies. For this purpose, we use a longitudinal research design and track sales from the year of initial venture capital investment up to seven years after this investment in 692 European technology-based companies. Findings demonstrate how companies backed by cross-border venture capital investors initially exhibit lower sales growth compared to companies backed by domestic investors. After a couple of years, however, companies backed by cross-border investors exhibit higher sales growth compared to companies backed by domestic investors. Finally, companies that raise finance from a syndicate comprising both domestic and cross-border investors develop into the biggest sales generators. Overall, this study provides a more textured understanding of the role played by venture capital investors as their portfolio companies develop and thereby require different resources or capabilities over time.
