Abstract
This study proposes unpacking the black box through which firms in emerging economies can have a positive financial profit from bricolage. Specially, we examine both how and when bricolage enhances financial performance by considering ambidextrous learning as a mediator and organizational formalization as an important contingency. Empirical results from 211 Chinese firms indicate that bricolage have a positive effect on financial performance which is mediated by ambidextrous learning. The results also demonstrate that organizational formalization positively moderates the relationship between bricolage and financial performance via ambidextrous learning. We discuss how our findings may extend bricolage, ambidexterity, and organizational structure literature and provide implications for managerial practice.
