“…In contrast, selective bricolage limits bricolage activities to a few domains. The two patterns may have different influences on organizational outcomes (Rönkkö, Peltonen, and Arenius, ). Future studies could extend our research by determining the differences, if any, between parallel and selective bricolage in affecting corporate entrepreneurship.…”

While most studies have viewed bricolage as a tool to overcome resource constraints in the context of new ventures, few of them have directly investigated the effects of bricolage to identify new entrepreneurial opportunities in the context of incumbent firms. Drawing upon a subjectivist view of entrepreneurship, we reframe bricolage as a concrete activity of experiential resource-learning that creates subjective knowledge of resource at hand. We argue that the subjective knowledge derived from bricolage will shape a firm's "subjective opportunity set" and facilitate opportunities identification, which will ultimately increase the likelihood of the incumbent firm's corporate entrepreneurship (including product innovation, venturing, and strategic renewal). Hypotheses are thus developed to examine the relationship between bricolage and corporate entrepreneurship as well as the mediating role of opportunity identification. Moreover, as bricolage activities depend on interactive social contexts rather than individual efforts, the firm's learning orientation is proposed as a moderator that influences the positive effects of bricolage on opportunity identification. We test these hypotheses using the survey data from 248 incumbent firms in China. The empirical results generally support our hypotheses by showing that (1) bricolage positively influences opportunity identification, (2) opportunity identification mediates the relationship between bricolage and corporate entrepreneurship, and (3) learning orientation has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between bricolage and opportunity identification. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of bricolage in context of corporate entrepreneurship by being an opportunity identification incubator. Implications for managers are also included in the end of this article. Practitioner PointsView bricolage not only as an approach to overcome resource constraints but also a way to stimulate innovation, strategic renewal, and venturing in incumbent firms.Monitor the bricolage process to generate and cumulate new knowledge of resource at hand to better identify new opportunities.Cultivate high learning orientation in the organization to enhance the effect of bricolage on opportunity identification.

The main conclusions are as follows: First, in terms of personal characteristics of entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of the interviewed enterprises have higher risk-taking tendency, fuzzy tolerance, internal control sources and personal achievement motivation. Secondly, in the selection of new combination modes of resources, more than 60% enterprises make good use of existing limited skills and other resources to integrate the factor resources, which belongs to the new combination modes of factor resources. More than half of the enterprises regard the integration of their customer resources as one of their important tasks, which belongs to the new combination modes of customer resources; More than 60% enterprises think that they dare to innovate in their system design, which is a typical new combination of institutional resources.
