Abstract

Pendant la phase d'émergence, les écosystèmes d'innovation – des groupes d'acteurs hétérogènes indépendants, mais interdépendants qui s'engagent dans une action collective pour créer conjointement de la valeur – doivent convaincre leurs membres de contribuer collectivement à un objectif commun. Pour que cela se produise, l'écosystème doit acquérir une légitimité, c'est-à-dire qu'il doit établir l'acceptabilité, la plausibilité et la crédibilité de l'objectif commun, qui est souvent une proposition de valeur. Nous postulons que si acquérir une légitimité est difficile, survivre au processus d'émergence l'est davantage. La plupart des écosystèmes perdront probablement leur légitimité à un moment donné et, si l'on veut que cette légitimité soit durable, l'écosystème doit faire face à cette épreuve et trouver des moyens de la récupérer. À l'aide d'une étude de cas longitudinale d'un écosystème de mobilité hydrogène, cet article examine empiriquement le phénomène d'acquisition de la légitimité de l'écosystème. Nos résultats révèlent l'existence de trois types de processus en interaction qui se produisent au sein de l'écosystème et qui contribuent à construire une légitimité durable : la préparation à une légitimité résiliente, la surveillance de l'affaiblissement de la légitimité et la récupération de la légitimité. De plus, nous montrons que le renforcement de la résilience pour la légitimité est un outil clé sur lequel l'écosystème peut compter pour survivre malgré une grande incertitude, car il répond à la perte de crédibilité parmi ses membres. Enfin, nous observons que l'orchestration a un rôle crucial à jouer dans les processus de légitimation. Nous soutenons que l'orchestration devrait aborder non seulement la coordination des actions et des ressources pour répondre à la demande des consommateurs, mais également la perception qu'ont les membres de l'écosystème de son objectif et l'évolution de ces perceptions.
