Abstract

This paper examines the theorization strategies for diffusion of new practices in an emerging field. We identify the attributes of an emerging field vis-à-vis mature field across four dimensions and presents the challenges of diffusion of new practices in emerging field. Presenting the theorization as a means of legitimization, we explore the basis of legitimization and its intended audience. In an emerging field, exchange, structural, procedural, and consequential legitimacy forms the basis of legitimization. The constituents of market governance such as investors, consumers etc., and normative governance such as professional association etc., forms the intended audiences for the theorization process.
