A number of writers have attempted to describe what LT might "look like" if it were in evidence in corporate behaviour and communications. Dowling and Pfeffer (1975) argued that organisations exist within a "perordinate Voluntary social social system" (see also Parsons, 1960) within which organisations enjoy reporting in legitimacy insofar as their activities are congruent with the broad goals or FTSE sectors acceptations of the superordinate system. Accordingly, changes in the value system resident within the superordinate social system become the preeminent cause of cultural change within organisations and of change in the manner in which the organisation relates to society. LT would suggest that social disclosure could be used to narrow the legitimacy "gap" between how the organisation wishes to be perceived and how it actually is perceived. Maurer (1971) discussed legitimacy in terms of "justification" (of certain behaviours), while Suchman (1995) described it partly in terms of "manipulation" and "garnering societal support". Patten (1992) took a similar view.
