By applying the lens of bricolage to a series of critical events and activities described in the Toy Store(y), I illustrate the theoretical and practical application of prior research findings on both bricolage and improvisation and extend these to make suggestions for useful future research and teaching in these areas.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF BUSINESS VENTURING}, author={Baker, Ted}, year={2007}, month={Sep}, pages={694–711} } @misc{baker_gedajlovic_lubatkin_2005, title={A framework for comparing entrepreneurship processes across nations}, volume={36}, ISSN={["0047-2506"]}, DOI={10.1057/palgrave.jibs.8400153}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STUDIES}, author={Baker, T and Gedajlovic, E and Lubatkin, M}, year={2005}, month={Sep}, pages={492–504} } @misc{baker_nelson_2005, title={Creating something from nothing: Resource construction through entrepreneurial bricolage}, volume={50}, ISSN={["1930-3815"]}, DOI={10.2189/asqu.2005.50.3.329}, abstractNote={A field study of 29 resource-constrained firms that varied dramatically in their responses to similar objective environments is used to examine the process by which entrepreneurs in resource-poor environments were able to render unique services by recombining elements at hand for new purposes that challenged institutional definitions and limits. We found that Lévi-Strauss's concept of bricolage—making do with what is at hand—explained many of the behaviors we observed in small firms that were able to create something from nothing by exploiting physical, social, or institutional inputs that other firms rejected or ignored. We demonstrate the socially constructed nature of resource environments and the role of bricolage in this construction. Using our field data and the existing literature on bricolage, we advance a formal definition of entrepreneurial bricolage and induce the beginnings of a process model of bricolage and firm growth. Central to our contribution is the notion that companies engaging in bricolage refuse to enact the limitations imposed by dominant definitions of resource environments, suggesting that, for understanding entrepreneurial behavior, a constructivist approach to resource environments is more fruitful than objectivist views.}, number={3}, journal={ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCE QUARTERLY}, author={Baker, T and Nelson, RE}, year={2005}, month={Sep}, pages={329–366} } @article{baker_miner_eesley_2003, title={Improvising firms: bricolage, account giving and improvisational competencies in the founding process}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1873-7625"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0048-7333(02)00099-9}, abstractNote={Improvisation occurs when the design and execution of novel activities converge. Drawing on three samples of young firms, this inductive study investigates the existence, channels and implications of strategic improvisation in knowledge-intensive new businesses. Our study suggests that not only may founding itself be improvisational in some cases, but improvisational processes and issues permeate entrepreneurial activity and have non-obvious implications for emergent firm strategies and competencies. We develop propositions in four domains: (1) the occurrence of strategic improvisation; (2) tactical improvisation rising to the level of strategy; (3) network bricolage; and (4) improvisational competencies. This study contributes to research on organizational improvisation, bricolage and entrepreneurship. Theoretically and in practice, both improvisation and bricolage represent potentially rich additions to the vocabulary of entrepreneurial action.}, number={2}, journal={RESEARCH POLICY}, author={Baker, T and Miner, AS and Eesley, DT}, year={2003}, month={Feb}, pages={255–276} } @book{baker._1999, title={Doing well by doing good the bottom line on workplace practices}, publisher={Washington, DC: Economic Policy Institute}, author={Baker., Ted}, year={1999} }
