This research adopts a statistical approach to analyze the performance determinants of spin-off companies. First, Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is utilized to model performance measurement of acer spin-offs from four different perspectives. Second, weights derived from Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are used to aggregate opinions from people with different ranks, professions, industries and ages regarding the importance of the four perspectives. Finally, nine hypotheses are proposed and the method of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used to verify the performance determinants of spin-off companies. The empirical results suggest that the performance of a spin-off company is significantly correlated with the CEO’s seniority in the acer Group, the incubating model of a spin-off, the procuring of a spin-off’s core technology, the degree of ownership of the parent company, and the bundling relationship of products and services between the spin-off and its associated parent company. However, our empirical results show that the performance of a spin-off is not correlated with the professional background of a CEO, a spin-off’s position in the total supply chain, a spin-off’s attributes of products and services, and a spin-off’s origin of acer’s by sub-group.
