创业过程视角下的创业拼凑研究综述与展望

创业拼凑理论在创业领域的应用得到学术界的广泛关注,目前已进入理论推动的假设检验阶段。现有研究主要围绕创业拼凑的驱动因素、作用机理以及结果效应展开,但其实证研究结论均以特定的创业情境为依托,对于创业过程中创业拼凑实践何时进入或退出等问题学术界还未给出清晰回答。为此,基于创业过程视角,对创业拼凑在创业构想、企业初创、企业持续发展三个阶段起到的积极和消极影响作用进行分析,从而构建起一个整合性理论分析框架,提出未来应完善创业能力、组织网络以及不同创业情境下的创业拼凑等研究议题。     

数字经济网络视域下平台赋能对初创企业创业拼凑的影响

数字经济时代,数字经济网络是推进数字生态共同体建设的重要单元载体。全球经济形势的巨大变化对企业的生存与发展带来了严峻的挑战,而嵌入平台的初创企业往往以较强的网络优势和良好的拼凑效果备受关注,但其中的原因尚未完全明晰。本文基于数字经济网络环境,刻画平台赋能的网络特征,探究平台结构赋能和关系赋能对初创企业创业拼凑的具体作用机制。研究结果显示,平台关系赋能能够促进初创企业创业拼凑,数字经济网络强联结及网络弱联结在其中发挥中介作用,而平台结构赋能主要通过网络强联结间接作用于企业创业拼凑。在此基础上,企业自身的知识创造能力在其中起到了调节作用。本文的研究进一步梳理了数字经济网络下平台组织的赋能机制,阐明了平台赋能对初创企业创业拼凑的完整作用机理,所得结论对于完善数字经济网络与平台构建及推动初创企业的创新发展具有重要的理论和现实意义。

产教融合背景下企业创新失败中的资源拼凑机理研究——基于长三角的调研问卷分析

推动产教融合是落实国家科教兴国战略和人才强国战略，推动教育与产业发展统筹融合、良性互动的重要途径。动态环境下，创新失败成为企业面临的常态。由于创新失败造成企业资源的短缺，因而在此情景下对手头现有资源的拼凑对企业能否转败为胜具有重要意义。但现有研究对企业创新失败中的资源拼凑行为关注甚少。为此，基于289份新创高技术企业的数据，从失败正常化和失败学习探究企业创新失败中的资源拼凑机制，并进一步探究创业激情在失败学习和资源拼凑中的作用。通过理论分析和实证检验，主要得到以下结论：（1）失败正常化对失败学习（单环学习和双环学习）具有积极影响，失败学习对资源拼凑具有积极效应，同时，失败正常化能通过促进失败学习进一步对资源拼凑施加积极效应；（2）创业激情在单环学习/双环学习和资源拼凑间发挥着正向调节作用。据此，提出企业要注重对失败学习时间的反思和学习，失败管理文化的构建，企业管理者的激情调动等建议，以期为创新失败中的企业进一步提高资源使用率从而摆脱失败困境。

Innovation for Inclusive Business: Intrapreneurial Bricolage in Multinational Corporations

It is often argued that multinational corporations (MNCs) are in a unique position to innovate business models that can help to alleviate poverty. This empirical study into intra‐organizational aspects of pro‐poor business innovation in two MNCs suggests, however, that certain elements of their management frameworks – such as short‐term profit interests, business unit based incentive structures, and uncertainty avoidance – may turn into obstacles that prevent MNCs from reaching their full potential in this respect. We introduce the concept of intrapreneurial bricolage to show how middle manager innovators may promote pro‐poor business models despite these obstacles. We define intrapreneurial bricolage as entrepreneurial activity within a large organization characterized by creative bundling of scarce resources, and illustrate empirically how it helps innovators to overcome organizational constraints and to mobilize internal and external resources. Our findings imply that intrapreneurial bricolage may be of fundamental importance in MNC innovation for inclusive business. In addition to the field of inclusive business, this study has implications for the study of bricolage in large organizations and social intrapreneurship, as well for managerial practice around innovation for inclusive business.     

Social bricolage in the aftermath of war

ABSTRACT

While social bricolage has emerged as a key theoretical frame for understanding how social entrepreneurs mobilize and deploy resources to create social value under situations of resource scarcity, there is scant knowledge about social bricolage in post-conflict settings characterised by extreme resource paucity and adversity. Drawing on field research in post-conflict northern Uganda, we show how groups of disenfranchised young people use social bricolage to create social change in a volatile situation marked by extreme resource deprivation and a plethora of challenges arising in the aftermath of war. Based on empirical data, we outline three key practices of social bricolage employed to cope with resource scarcity, extended crisis and volatility. First, we unravel the practice of securing resources and creating social value by mobilizing peers. Second, we show how pluriactivity is used to stretch and make the most of scarce resources in a shifting environment. Third, we illuminate the practice of rekindling pre-war cultural resources to reunite fragmented communities. By illuminating these practices and showing how the context of the post-conflict developing country setting influences the dynamics of ‘making do with resources at hand’, we seek to extend social bricolage theory.     

Bricolage in the urban cultural sector: the case of Bradford city of film

Abstract

This article discusses bricolage in the context of a social enterprise for urban development. It focuses on the case of BDK Limited, and discusses how this organisation contributes to the economic and social development of the British city of Bradford by promoting city-wide film-based cultural consumption and cultural pride. This research used semi-structured interviews, participant observation and documentary analysis to examine this organisation’s different modes of material and ideational bricolage. The entrepreneurs serve as material bricoleurs as they transform the residuals of the city’s industrial past from materials of no use and reminders of backwardness to sites for cultural consumption. This paper also identifies patterns of ideational bricolage. In Bradford, ethnic diversity has long been discursively associated with conflicts and backwardness by local businesses, potential investors, the media and even urban social entrepreneurs themselves. However, in this case study, diversity is re-perceived as a cultural asset for urban tourism and related industries.     

Overcoming resource challenges in peer-production communities through bricolage: The case of HomeNets

Peer-production communities can create great value and foster innovation for their members, even in situations where resources are extremely scarce. How these communities create or acquire necessary resources in such settings is an important theoretical and practical question. In this paper, I investigate how a peer-production community overcame substantial resource challenges, using the analytic lens of bricolage theory, in a longitudinal study of HomeNets, communities of residents that developed residential Internet infrastructures and services for a million users in Minsk, Belarus, without funds, material resources, knowledge, or formal legal status. The findings illustrate that communities develop their missing resources by engaging in multiple coexisting bricolage forms and processes, which help them to successfully incorporate the individual and collective resource building efforts of their participants and address the challenges specific to the continuously evolving community. Based on the findings, I propose a model of community resource development with bricolage, discuss theoretical and practical implications for studies on communities and bricolage, and suggest areas for further research.     

Bricolage,collaboration and mission drift in social enterprises

Abstract

Increasingly, social enterprises are relying on collaboration with partners to tackle the resource constraints that they face. In this research we focus on the strategy of bricolage to explore whether and how the different types of partner becoming involved may impact on the mission of social enterprises. Grounded in resource dependency and transaction cost theories, we explore how power asymmetry and the nature of involvement may impact on the outcomes of bricolage. Our findings demonstrate that in the more integrated relationships with high power asymmetry, more instances of mission drift might be observed compared to when social enterprises develop the more collaborative or complementary nature of partnerships with symmetrical power dependency, or when the partners’ involvements are mainly transaction-based.     

Waste Livelihoods Amongst the Poor – Through the Lens of Bricolage

This paper examines two social enterprises and 25+ informal economy micro‐entrepreneurs in Kenya who utilize waste materials to generate income, considered through the conceptual lens of bricolage. Waste materials can all be considered as sources of free or discounted materials that in resource‐constrained and poor communities might be leveraged to generate income in the absence of employment. This paper explores three key themes that emerge from the research findings, namely the various strategic dimensions of the cases, the networks and social capital they leverage and how these livelihood models relate to various dimensions of bricolage such as improvisation, making do and the process of ‘fiddling’ or recombining resources. The findings also suggest that differing waste livelihoods have different rates of return, or profitability, and differing input requirements of capital, skills and knowledge. The paper also stresses the role of boundary spanning organizations such as NGOs and hybrid/social enterprises. © 2016 The Authors.

Entrepreneurship through Bricolage: a study of displaced entrepreneurs at times of war and conflict

ABSTRACT

War and conflict brings about adverse changes for those who are displaced. How do entrepreneurial individuals respond to such adversity to either set-up, or continue with their existing entrepreneurial endeavours that would improve their own livelihood or that of others who have been affected? Whilst previous studies have found local knowledge, networks and resources to be crucial in the development of ventures in the war and conflict context, alienation from mainstream society within the host location often means that to succeed, those who are displaced require alternative strategies and approaches. Through examining the entrepreneurial ventures of six internally displaced entrepreneurs in Pakistan, our study identifies that entrepreneurial individuals find different ways to adapt to the new order, with both internal and external bricolage becoming the key strategies deployed to either re-establish their previous businesses or to develop new endeavours in the host location. To compensate for lack of local knowledge, networks and resources, we found that entrepreneurs followed closely their previous paths in their bricolage attempts, relying on reconfigurations of their pre-existing competencies, as well as utilizing pre-established and clandestine networks.

What entrepreneurs discover when creating opportunities? Insights from Skype and YouTube ventures

Although the scholarly conversation about how entrepreneurial opportunities emerge has suggested that entrepreneurs both discover and create opportunity components, specific knowledge about what components are discovered is lacking. In this research, we use an exploratory case study to investigate the opportunity creation process. We found that entrepreneurs discover several opportunity-related components based on the prior experience and knowledge of other entrepreneurs. Drawing on the evidence from these exploratory cases, we identify three important types of components that entrepreneurs creatively recombine within an emerging opportunity: technology stack, business model, and product and service design architecture. These findings have important implications for our understanding of entrepreneurial bricolage and entrepreneurial recycling, and their connection to the process of opportunity creation.
