TL;DR: This work proposes a theoretical framework about the conditions under which the collective identity of a nascent entrepreneurial group is more likely to be legitimated and posit that legitimacy is morelikely to be achieved when members articulate a clear defining collective identity story that identifies the group's orienting purpose and core practices.

TL;DR: The authors developed a theoretical model based on identity theory to explain how commercial and social welfare logics become relevant to entrepreneurship, how different types of entrepreneurs perceive the tension between these logics, and what implications this has for how entrepreneurs recognize and develop social enterprise opportunities.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature on organizational categories and categorization published in the last 14 years (1999-2012) is presented in this article. But the most surprising finding may be that until recently, there was no mutual recognition of the existence of a distinct literature on categories despite the wealth of published material on the topic.

TL;DR: Pfeffer et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a systematic analysis of resource dependence's uses in the management literature and showed that resource dependence has been broadly influential and well-supported in applications that cross multiple empirical domains.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of novel theoretical predictions about the conditions under which category spanning is rewarded by external audiences were developed and tested, and they showed that category spanning does not necessarily lead to confusion, but rather to interpretations that rely on a "header-modifier" structure where one category anchors cognition but is modified by features of the other.
