Abstract

Few studies have considered the creation of health technology organizations where the entrepreneurs seize opportunities, create their entrepreneurial organization and provide it with legitimacy, and examined the triggers, constraints and pressures involved in this process. To study the emergence of such firms, we performed semistructured interviews with 20 entrepreneurs and strategic partners involved in the development and commercialization of health technologies. For each stage of the firm emergence process, we identified triggers and enablers, as well as barriers and constraints encountered by entrepreneurs, and pressures originating from institutional actors. We found that each stage of startup emergence had triggers where the entrepreneur faced a conflicting situation in the form of boundary misalignment, competing technologies, poor performances, and resource asymmetry. Each topic is examined in the light of neo-institutional theory and finally replaced within a larger process in which the entrepreneur addresses market and healthcare system needs and interacts with other actors. In each stage, we identified a predominant institutional process taking place, whether it was decoupling, organizational field influence or legitimation seeking. The present study aimed at understanding the process by which an opportunity is seized, an organization is created and an institution as big as a healthcare system is approached. The results may help entrepreneurs and decisionmakers understand the strategies engaged following pressures from the healthcare organization. Likewise, it could increase investors’ awareness of the emergence process of health tech businesses and stimulate mutual understanding between entrepreneurs, and economic and healthcare actors.
