Özet:

 Bricolage, a novel concept derived from anthropology, has a significant impact on contemporary management practices by promoting the use of available resources to deal with challenges and exploit resources. Previous research has highlighted the importance of bricolage in encouraging innovative thinking and adaptability in organizations, particularly in developing nations where resources are scarce. Although the notion is very adaptable, researchers could encounter the difficulty of combing through the diverse range of publications to find essential academic sources and articles on management. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis is necessary to thoroughly review and assess current trends in the management literature on bricolage. This study examines the existing literature on bricolage in management studies to identify research trends and potential gaps. The studys sample consisted of 209 publications published between 2003 and March 2024 in the Web of Science database. VOSviewer was used to analyze and display the associations among journals, authors, countries, and keywords. According to the results, bricolage is an important tool for businesses to overcome limitations within the entrepreneurial domain. The findings indicate that the United States, England, and China are significant research hubs in the research network. Also, keyword analysis revealed that a growing body of research is bridging the gap between entrepreneurship and other fields, such as technology, innovation, policy, and society, according to the relationships discovered. This study provides a comprehensive overview of bricolage research in management studies and practical suggestions for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to enhance the application of bricolage in various organizational and management contexts.

 Brikolaj, antropolojiden türetilmiş yenilikçi bir kavram olup, mevcut kaynakların kullanımını teşvik etmesi bağlamında çağdaş yönetim uygulamaları üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Araştırmalar, özellikle kaynakların kıt olduğu gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, brikolaj kavramının örgütlerde yenilikçi düşünceyi ve uyum yeteneğini arttırdığını vurgulamaktadır. Bu kavramın çok yönlülüğüne rağmen, araştırmacılar yönetim alanında birkolaj odaklı yayınları incelemede kritik öneme sahip akademik kaynakları ve makaleleri belirleme zorluğu ile karşı karşıya kalabilirler. Bu nedenle, brikolaj üzerine yazında yer alan güncel eğilimleri kapsamlı bir şekilde gözden geçirip değerlendirmek için bibliyometrik bir analize ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, yönetim çalışmalarında mevcut brikolaj yazınını inceleyerek araştırma eğilimlerini ve potansiyel boşlukları belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini, 2003ten Mart 2024e kadar Web of Science veritabanında yayımlanan toplam 209 makale oluşturmaktadır. VOSviewer, dergiler, yazarlar, ülkeler ve anahtar kelimeler arasındaki ilişkileri analiz etmek ve göstermek için kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara brikolaj kavramı, girişimcilik alanındaki sınırlamaların üstesinden gelmek için örgütler için önemli bir araçtır. Ayrıca bulgulara göre Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İngiltere ve Çin araştırma ağındaki önemli merkezlerdir. Bununla birlikte, anahtar kelime analizi, brikolaj kavramının yönetim alanında girişimcilik ile teknoloji, inovasyon, politika ve toplum gibi diğer alanlar arasında köprü kurmaya başladığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, yönetim çalışmalarında brikolaj araştırmalarına ilişkin kapsamlı bir genel bakış sunmanın yanı sıra, çeşitli örgütsel ve yönetim bağlamlarında brikolaj anlayışını geliştirmek için akademisyenlere, uygulayıcılara ve politika yapıcılara uygulamaya yönelik önerilerde bulunmaktadır.
