Entrepreneurial Bricolage and Firm Growth : The Role of Structural Holes
Entrepreneurial bricolage is a critical factor for firm success in resource-constrained environments. Entrepreneurial bricolage is commonly assumed to not scale, as excessive use of entrepreneurial bricolage harms growth. This study explores how resource-constrained firms’ increased use of entrepreneurial bricolage impacts firm growth in the context of bridging structural holes. Drawing from entrepreneurship and social network literature, this research proposes a contingency framework to clarify the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and firm growth. The study distinguishes market network structural holes (SHM) and technological network structural holes (SHT) and investigates their moderating effects on the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and firm growth. Hierarchical regression analysis was used with data from 184 CCI firms in Taiwan. Findings indicate bridging SHM facilitates the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and firm growth; however, bridging SHT harms the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and firm growth. Results demonstrate an inverted U-shaped relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and firm growth
