| Tiivistelmä: | This article offers new insights for our understanding of mimetic isomorphism and its reliance on legitimacy: the authors suggest that legitimacy-based reference groups guide firms in their mimetic behaviour, that firms undertake imitation even against their own ex ante information, and that legitimacy-based imitation contributes negatively to firm's profitability. Portuguese bank branching decisions between 1988 and 1996 are examined. |
