“…Organizational ecology theory focuses on organizational populations and provides a useful explanation of the market selection process underlying organizational diversity and market dynamics (Hannan and Freeman, 1989;Carroll and Khessina, 2019). Consistent with this approach, market dynamics appear to be driven by structural inertia and interactions among organizational populations (Singh and Lumsden, 1990;Hannan, 2005;Hsu and Hannan, 2005;Bogaert et al, 2016).…”

“…This evolutionary process is contingent on two conditions. First, a new organizational form emerges and dominates only if it receives or accumulates enough "constitutive legitimation," i.e., it becomes institutionalized and is accepted socially and by the government (Hannan et al, 2007;Carroll and Khessina, 2019).…”

Successful transition to a market economy: an interpretation from organizational ecology theory and institutional theory

This article investigates the rationales for the successful economic transition in a transition country through the lens of organizational ecology theory and institutional theory. Initially, the new private sector emerges and survives because of “legitimacy spillovers” from the legitimized transitional mixed sector and some market-oriented identity overlap. Over time, as the private sector builds its own legitimacy, it competes with the state and the mixed sector and challenges their existence. Finally, the Schumpeterian “creative destruction” process replaces the old out-of-date sectors with the new dominant sector. Consistent with organizational ecology theory, the evolution and dynamics of the three economic sectors take place through their interactions, which determine the emergence, prominence, decline, and exit of firm populations in each sector. Depending on whether a centrally planned or market-oriented political legacy plays the dominant role in the regional environment where the transition takes place, local institutions play a moderating role in stimulating or hindering this evolution process. Empirically, we test this mechanism using census data for firms operating in Vietnam between 2000 and 2013, applying Blundell and Bond’s generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation technique and the piecewise exponential hazard model to study the interaction effects of economic sectors in terms of profitability and survival.

“…We show that although legalization does not remove the categorical stigma of past illegal activities from a newly legalized market, the mechanisms of identity exposure may significantly reduce it. Additionally, we contribute to research on ecological processes driving industry change (for a review, see Carroll and Khessina, 2019) by offering a novel construct of identity exposure that explains evolutionary changes in stigmatized markets.…”

Many legalized markets bear categorical stigma—a vilifying label attached to an industry and its participants—that threatens their performance and survival chances. This happens because audiences avoid engagement with stigmatized organizations to minimize the probability of stigma transfer. Although scholars have explored what strategies stigmatized companies undertake to mitigate their stigma, we know very little about whether and how audiences’ acceptance of stigmatized organizations actually happens and if industry-level processes play a role in this acceptance. We develop a theory of identity exposure predicting that customers will become less concerned about stigma transfer when stigmatized organizations unambiguously reveal their identities by publicly advocating and celebrating their business and when vanguard customers openly discuss stigmatized organizations and their products in public forums. We find support for our theorizing in the analyses of customers’ concerns about stigma in Weedmaps.com —a marijuana-based community—from its inception in 2008 through 2014. Ultimately, our findings and extensive robustness checks suggest that identity exposure within stigmatized industries can alleviate customers’ concerns about stigma transfer and in this way accelerate the market destigmatization process.

“…According to the density dependence pattern widely corroborated in the organizational ecology literature (Carroll and Khessina, 2019), I include community theater density and the square term of community theater density as control variables to account for competition and legitimation effects during industry emergence.…”

This study investigates the power of a community namesake, defined as an organization named after the geographic community, in discouraging potential entrants from entering the local market during industry emergence. I argue that the presence of a community namesake is likely to make potential entrants anticipate stronger competition, because they tend to believe that the local membership proudly claimed by the namesake may drive community stakeholders to reciprocate the namesake with disproportionally more resources. During industry emergence when there lacks objective information on competitive intensity, the presence of a community namesake can be a sufficient cue of high local entry barrier that deters potential entrants, resulting in lower founding rates during the post-namesake period at the level of communities. I further predict that the namesakes’ symbolic power should vary depending on their material forms. Material forms that corroborate (i.e., through purpose-built buildings) or make salient (i.e., through visually prominent architectures) the namesakes’ claimed local membership should decrease founding rates to a higher degree. The analysis of the emergence of historical movie theaters in Chicago communities, 1905-1927, provides empirical support to the theorizing.
