Sectorial Brands As a Legitimation Tool For Emerging Market Firm’S Internationalization: the Case of ‘Din Inimă’ Umbrella Brand in Moldova
We examine how sectorial brands facilitate legitimation of emerging market firms aiming to internationalise. Using a longitudinal case of ‘Din Inimă’, a sectorial fashion brand in Moldova, we identified three brand-mediated legitimation mechanisms: material (expanding international networks), rhetorical (selective framing to reposition understandings of Moldovan producers), and symbolic collectivity (community).
