Abstract: Abstract Within the framework of institutional theory, legitimacy is a key factor for organizational and—more specifically—entrepreneurial success. Similarly, legitimacy is seen as an essential component of a country’s development. The goal of the present study is to better understand the role of a country’s legitimacy on its entrepreneurial activity and overall development. Furthermore, the authors research the influence of cultural resources on country-wide legitimacy perceptions. A case study is performed on the effect of normative legitimacy in efficiency-driven countries. The results suggest parallel behaviors between normative legitimacy and entrepreneurial activity. Nevertheless, unexpected relationships were discovered in the link between legitimacy, cultural resources, and development.
