Definition SPIN OFF: Coined in Silicon Valley, United States during the 70s, the French term which is closest is “essaimage”, but it is less restrictive; therefore, it means the creation of a company by its spreading out.
This company creation lies with the need to commercialise an innovative business in order to limit the involvement of the mother company when faced with risk. Creating a spin off is adapted in an innovative context of separation. The projects that it develops are often very risky because they generally require research and development of new projects for new markets.
This potential value creation also results from optimising project management by involving and motivating directors, with their experience and knowledge.
