When High Failure, Risky Technology Leads to Market Expansion: the Case of the Fertility Services Market
This paper explores how risky innovation in the fertility services market impacts legitimation dynamics and marketing expansion. We find that despite high failure, risky technology supported by scientific legitimacy leads to an expansion, rather than contraction, in consumer segments. These findings contribute to the risk, legitimacy, and services literatures.
