abstract = {Entrepreneurial legitimacy has been described as a trigger of entrepreneurial
career choice and motivation, meaning that the propensity of an individual to
engage in an entrepreneurial career increases with the social legitimacy of the

legitimacy is a complex social construct that determines the diffusion of entrepreneurial
culture in different countries. This article aims to contribute to
contextualizing entrepreneurial legitimacy by acknowledging its social genesis
and dynamics, and by showing the variety of social interactions that it encompasses.
The article examines the discursive strategies that entrepreneurs use to
gain legitimacy among their audiences, and studies the representations and
expectations attached to the figure of the entrepreneur by current and aspiring
students in a Master’s program in Entrepreneurship. We gather the views of three
social groups that actively engage in the social construction of entrepreneurial
legitimacy in order to identify their convergent and divergent social representations
of what it means to “be an entrepreneur.” Based on a questionnaire survey of
529 French participants and on 30 qualitative interviews, we present and compare
the social representations of French entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship held by
SME entrepreneurs and current and potential students in a Master’s in entrepreneurship
program. We found that entrepreneurial legitimacy is a collective
outcome of various social representations circulating in the public space that affects entrepreneurs’ ability to develop their businesses and their identities, along
with their willingness and capacity to promote the entrepreneurial spirit in
society.},

Renaud Redien-Collot et Catherine Léger-Jarniou Retard de la RSE des PME françaises ?

this instrumentalist vision of CSR can be attributed to the triumph of masculine
culture in SMEs. We therefore examine a sample of thirteen female heads of
high-growth SMEs (ranked in the Women Equity for Growth Index) 2 with effective managerial
processes to determine whether they see and enact CSR as a strategic panacea. In
order to capture the respondents’ motivations, our study looks at their practices and their
discourse. We find that they are cautious about formalizing and instrumentalizing their
CSR practice. Their deployment of CSR is nurtured by an ethical discourse that is equally
instrumental and normative, with their employees as their priority stakeholders. As they
are convinced that CSR offers a powerful prospective launch pad, respondents are very
skilled in their ability to preserve CSR’s “revelatory power” in their companies. Through
their expressions of self-doubt and resistance, they reveal distinct points of view that are
informed by strong reflection. Their hybrid ethical discourse is not the result of a compromise.
Instead, it informs a very active sense-making process.
