摘　　要：在创新生态系统情境下,生态系统合法性的获取及演化是创业企业成功开展颠覆性创新的有效机制。通过对迈新1993-2023年的纵向案例分析发现,创业企业通过生态系统合法性实现颠覆性创新的过程,实际上是创业企业围绕颠覆性的价值主张构建创新生态系统,并不断克服各种生态系统合法性障碍,逐步得到创新生态系统内外部行动者的理解和认可,最终实现对现有生态系统价值主张的颠覆或部分替代的过程。在此期间,生态系统合法性经历了“规范”“认知”和“价值”维度的演化,并依次通过“行为”“话语”和“意义”合法化策略获取相应的合法性。研究结论对于创业企业成功开展颠覆性创新具有重要见解。The emergence of disruptive innovation is an important and highly researched field.In the context of innovation ecosystem,the acquisition and its evolution of ecosystem legitimacy is an effective mechanism for start-ups to successfully carry out disruptive innovation.Prior research has shown that disruptive innovation is a socialized process that involves collaboration and dynamic interaction of multiple actors.Therefore,start-ups usually need to be embedded in a suitable innovation ecosystem for acquiring relevant resources and capabilities,in order to realize disruptive innovation through value co-creation.However,startups that introduce disruptive innovations into an existing ecosystem usually face the liability of newness including customer indifference,incumbent skepticism,and lack of co-specialized assets,which will undermine the efforts and effects of disruptive innovations carried out by start-ups.As a result,in order to successfully carry out disruptive innovation,start-ups usually have to acquire ecosystem legitimacy,that is,to obtain the support from actors inside and outside the ecosystem or even incumbents that may be disrupted.However,it is worth considering that there is currently a lack of relevant research on how start-ups in emerging economies achieve disruptive innovations through acquiring ecosystem legitimacy.Although the last few years have seen a boom in the study of the relationship between innovation ecosystem and disruptive innovation,most of that are usually based on the assumption that disruptive innovation has already occurred.Existing research focus mainly on the strategic response of incumbents to the challenge of being disrupted,with fewer studies analyzing the ecosystem legitimacy of disruptive innovation carried out by start-ups.Using the method of longitudinal case study,this paper explores the detailed process of how start-ups in emerging economies achieve disruptive innovation by acquiring the ecosystem legitimacy.According to the principle of theoretical sampling,Fuzhou Maixi
