Institutionalizing Women’s Enterprise Policy: A Legitimacy-Based Perspective
通过45次访谈和民族志研究，本文揭示了英国创业政策生态系统中利益相关者如何评估并影响女性创业政策的合法性，提出了合法性修复循环和去合法化循环的多层次模型。
Despite efforts to increase the quantity and quality of women-owned businesses, enterprise policy has enjoyed only modest success. This article explores the role of legitimacy in these outcomes by examining how and when individual stakeholders evaluate and then influence the legitimacy of women’s enterprise policy. We draw on 45 interviews with actors in the UK enterprise policy ecosystem and an ethnographic study of the policy process. We present a multilevel model of two opposing legitimacy processes: a legitimacy repair loop and a delegitimizing loop. In doing so, we provide a novel perspective on policy institutionalizing.
