因此,农业企业部门的企业越来越多地暴露在公众视线中(Jansen/Vellema:2004)。根据弗里曼的说法,消费者和其他利益相关者是“任何能够影响组织目标的实现或受到其影响的群体或个人”,他们越来越多地受到批评和风险意识,并表现为对食品生产的态度发生了变化(Jackel/Spiller:2006;Haddock:2005)。例如,在农业中使用转基因被认为是道德上应受谴责的(Becker:1999)。疯牛病危机和其他食品恐慌导致消费者的不确定性增加,导致肉类消费减少,直言不讳的素食主义者和低肉类消费者的比例增加(von Alvensleben:1997;STAK:2005)。此外,利益相关者的影响能力正在增长(Gerlach:2006)。因此,这些因素降低了农业企业中传统生产技术(例如动物生产)和新生产技术(例如生物能源)的合法性。从长远来看,农业企业的成功可能会受到合法性损失的影响。在这种背景下,合法性被视为保障企业长期生存的资源(Palazzo/Scherer:2006)。主要使用一般管理文献中的基于市场的观点和新社会学-制度主义中的宏观制度方法来理解嵌入社会结构中的商业运作。在这种背景下,合法性意味着一个组织符合社会规范、价值观和期望(Oliver:1996)。
result, enterprises in the agribusiness sector are increasingly exposed to the public eye (Jansen/ Vellema: 2004). The perception of consumers and other stakeholders - which are according to Freeman “any group or individual who can affect, or is affected by, the achievement of the organization’s objectives” - is of growing criticism and risk-consciousness and manifests itself in changed attitudes towards food production (Jackel/Spiller: 2006; Haddock: 2005). The use of GMO in agriculture, e.g., is regarded to be morally reprehensible (Becker: 1999). The BSE-crisis and other food scares led to growing consumer uncertainty and resulted in decreased meat consumption and in the increasing percentage of outspoken vegetarians and low-meat consumers (von Alvensleben: 1997; Staack: 2005). Moreover, the influence capacity of stakeholders is growing (Gerlach: 2006). As a result these factors have reduced the legitimacy of traditional (e.g., animal production) as well as new production technologies (e.g. bioenergy) in the agribusiness. In the long term the success of enterprises in the agribusiness can be affected by legitimacy losses. Against this background, legitimacy is regarded as a resource that guarantees the long-term survival of an enterprise (Palazzo/Scherer: 2006). Primarily the market based view in general management literature and the macro-institutional approach in neo sociological-institutionalism are employed to understand business operations embedded in societal structures. In this context legitimacy means the conformation of an organization with social norms, values and expectations (Oliver: 1996).
