根據經濟部中小企業處每年公布的中小企業白皮書中顯示，台灣新創企業每年約為九至十萬家左右，這樣的數據呈現出台灣新創企業經濟活動的潛力，但相關分析指出在新創公司的前五年內，有許多以失敗收場的例子，另外由過去的文獻中發現，雖已有許多相關的研究，但企業位於不同的成長階段中，該面對的事物也有所不同，因此不同階段的關鍵影響因素也不盡相同，因此本研究鎖定新創子公司位於初期階段時，分析影響企業績效之關鍵因素。
本研究在資料蒐集方面，針對高階管理者以立意抽樣的問卷調查方式進行蒐集，範圍涵蓋電子業、資訊業、旅遊業、餐飲業、建築業、纺織業、食品業、汽車零件業和網路通訊業，共計58份有效問卷，最後並透過統計手法，整理並歸納出創業初期階段績效的關鍵影響因素。本研究結果發現，各企業在面臨須創立子公司時，時最主要的考量有三點，分別為溝通、投機行為與經營能力，其中又以投機行為的影響為最大，希望能提供後續創業者參考以提升成功之機會。
