Here’s what the academics say …
On the basis of this recent research, we argue that an
important means by which new ventures gain legitimacy is
by engaging in actions that convey associations with
reputed entities (see also Higgins and Gulati 2006). Such
actions affect stakeholder confidence in new ventures, in
particular in their ability to introduce products successfully.
By linking legitimacy to stakeholders’ perceptions of the
value of firms’ new products, we explain why some new
ventures gain more from their product introductions than
others.
