Startups são empresas, parcerias ou organizações temporárias projetadas para buscar um modelo de negócios replicável e escalável. Veja Blank, S. (2010). Why startups are agile and opportunistic: Pivoting the business model. www.steveblank.com/2010/04/12/. Scale-ups são empresas de alto crescimento cujo ciclo acelerado de crescimento e criação de riqueza se baseia, fundamentalmente, na escalabilidade do seu modelo de negócios. Veja Monteiro, G. F. A. (2019). High-growth firms and scale-ups: A review and research agenda. RAUSP Management Journal, 54(1), 96-111. https://doi.org/10.1108/RAUSP-03-2018-0004
Empreendimentos conjuntos podem prover recursos financeiros e know-how para as startups e novas tecnologias, expertise específica e agilidade para as grandes organizações. Veja Groote, J. K.

O campo teórico de relações interorganizacionais utiliza vários termos para representar as manifestações da existência de relacionamentos entre duas ou mais organizações, tais como colaboração, parceria, aliança, aliança estratégica, relacionamento, cooperação, rede, entre outros. O presente estudo utiliza o termo colaboração. Veja Cropper, S., Ebers, M., Huxham, C., & Ring, P. S. (2014). Introducing inter-organizational relations. In S. Cropper, M. Ebers, C. Huxham, & P. S. Ring (Eds.), The Oxford handbook of interorganizational relations (pp. 3-21). Oxford University Press.
Uma revisão de literatura sobre os termos colaboração, coordenação e cooperação interorganizacionais identificou nove definições distintas para o termo colaboração. Seis dessas definições são orientadas a comportamentos e três delas voltam-se para resultados. Conclui-se que o termo evoca uma mistura de aspectos relacionados a comportamentos e resultados. O presente artigo utiliza a definição de Hardy, C., Phillips, N., & Lawrence, T. B. (2003). Resources, knowledge and influence: The organizational effects of interorganizational collaboration.
