U radu se kroz pregled postojećih istraživanja analizira pojam organizacijske legitimnosti startupova, te glavne značajke procesa izgradnje legitimiteta startupova kroz digitalni kontekst grupnog financiranja (crowdfunding). Crowdfunding kao jedan od novijih modela financiranja predstavlja, između ostalog, jedan od mogućih kanala kreiranja organizacijskog legitimiteta, tj. strategiju vrednovanja idejnog koncepta startupova i pribavljanja resursa. U takvom digitalnom okruženju legitimnost te posljedično uspješnost realizacije poslovnog koncepta na tržištu, ovisi o specifičnostima digitalnog okruženja i institucionalne logike sudionika dvostrane digitalne platforme. Svrha rada je istražiti koncept organizacijske legitimnosti startup poduzetnika u kontekstu crowdfundinga. Cilj rada je pružiti pregled rezultata postojećih istraživanja o specifičnostima procesa izgradnje legitimiteta startupova u crowdfundingu te pretežitim teorijskim pristupima u pozadini interpretacije poduzetničkog odlučivanja u navedenom procesu. Metodološki pristup istraživanja je analiza i sinteza postojećih rezultata istraživanja temeljnog koncepta organizacijske legitimnosti te uspostavljene veze sa kontekstom crowdfundinga. Sukladno rezultatima istraživanja, navedene su implikacije i smjernice za daljnji teorijski doprinos u procesu izgradnje legitimiteta startupova, kao i praktične implikacije usmjerene prvenstveno startupovima te ostalim dionicima poduzetničkog ekosustava u okviru crowdfundinga. ; The paper analyzes the concept of organizational legitimacy of startups and the main features of the process of building the legitimacy of startups through the digital context of crowdfunding.

The beneficial relationship of entrepreneurial orientation with performance has been extensively acknowledged in the literature. However, empirical evidence is not straightforward and requires consideration of the interplay of different variables, context, and rationales through which this causal complexity of the performance-enhancing mechanism of entrepreneurial orientation influences firm performance. In this paper we examine the way the entrepreneurial behavior of the organization unfolds and affects performance through specific configurations resulting from the simultaneous interaction of strategic networking and dynamic environment in the setting of Southeast European SMEs. We apply hierarchical regression to a sample of 963 small and medium-sized enterprises. Empirical findings provide support for applying the configurational approach and show that companies of high entrepreneurial orientation and high strategic networking operating in a dynamic environment achieve the highest effect on a business performance. Research results further indicate that strategic networking is a mechanism that achieves the greatest efficiency in a dynamic environment and with the presence of a firm's entrepreneurial orientation. According to the research results, implications for research and practice are suggested.
