The Way

ANN can work the way the human brain works and can learn the way we learn. The neural network is this kind of technology that is not an algorithm; it is a network that has weights on it, and you can adjust the weights so that it learns. You teach it through trials. It is a fact that the neural network can operate and improve its performance after “teaching” it, but it needs to undergo some process of learning to acquire information and be familiar with them. Nowadays, the age of smart devices dominates the technological world, and no one can deny their great value and contributions to mankind. A dramatic rise in the platforms, tools, and applications based on machine learning and artificial intelligence has been seen. These technologies not only impacted software and the internet industry but also other verticals such as healthcare, legal, manufacturing, automobile, and agriculture. The chapter shows the importance of latest technology used in ANN and future trends in ANN.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the legitimacy needs and legitimation strategies of Internet start-ups in the context of industry dynamism. Design/methodology/approach – The purpose of this paper is to explore the legitimacy needs and legitimation strategies of Internet start-ups in the context of industry dynamism. Findings – The authors found that Internet start-ups are in great need of acquiring market and relational legitimacy at their nascent stages. Conformance to the environment is widely adopted by them as a legitimacy-enhancing strategy. There is an inverted “U” relationship between the maturity of the industry and the proactivity of any legitimation strategy in the sector. In the face of high- and low-level industry maturity, start-ups tend to employ prudent strategies to build up legitimacy. While in medium-mature industries, ventures are more likely to adopt proactive and aggressive strategies. Research limitations/implications – Due to the very nature of case methodology, this study is based on a small number of observations and it is set in the context of the Internet industry. The generalizability of its findings needs to be reinforced by further concrete studies. Practical implications – This paper suggests that industry dynamism should be taken into account carefully when implementing a choice of legitimation strategies. Originality/value – This study makes an attempt to further our understanding of how industry dynamism influences firms’ choices of legitimation strategies.
