5. Discussion
NPD research calls for considering the effects of resource constraints on product innovations (Cunha et al., 2014; Senyard et al., 2014). In this study, survey data from 222 Chinese firms are used to examine bricolage activity in positional NPA and validate resource construction strategy hypotheses in NPD. Particularly, a framework is proposed to investigate bricolage impacts on NPD speed and NPC, with technological turbulence as a moderator. First, the results show that bricolage positively correlates with NPD speed. Meta-analysis has suggested that availability of resources and facilities is positively related to fast NPD (Cankurtaran et al., 2013). Therefore, when resources and facilities are unavailable, firms cannot rely solely on standard resources to hasten NPD (Garud & Karnøe, 2003), but can rely on bricolage to construct the resource quickly and hasten NPD.
