Passionate bricoleurs and new venture survival
研究了创业激情与拼凑行为对新创企业生存的影响，发现高拼凑水平的企业家更可能存活，且对发明和开发充满激情的企业家更倾向于拼凑，两者共同促进企业持续经营。
The impression of entrepreneurship as an intentionally orchestrated activity has been challenged by more creative approaches. In this study we investigate the previously unexplored relationships between entrepreneurial passion, bricolage, and entrepreneurial survival. In a sample of 2489 Finnish entrepreneurs who started new businesses between 2005–2010, we find higher levels of bricolage among those, whose businesses were still surviving in the end of 2011. Further, our analyses reveal that entrepreneurs who are passionate about inventing and developing their ventures are more likely to engage in bricolage and, combined, the affective state of passion and the “make-do” behaviors of bricolage help entrepreneurs keep their businesses going.
