Abstract

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.
