This inductive, multiple-case study advances scholarly understanding of resourcefulness by examining the combination of resource mobilization behaviors over time, and associated performance outcomes, within seven early-stage medical technology ventures in the relatively resource-scarce context of Kampala, Uganda. Our analysis reveals two resource mobilization trajectories, characterized by different dynamic combinations of bricolage and resource seeking as ventures develop. High-performing ventures increased resource seeking as they developed and dynamically alternated lower and higher levels of bricolage, opting back into bricolage upon substantial resource acquisition. We explain the divergence in trajectories with ventures' reactions to catalytic events and reinterpretation of their resource spaces beyond local environs.

这项归纳性多案例研究通过在乌干达坎帕拉相对资源匮乏的七个早期医疗技术企业中，研究随着时间推移的资源动员行为以及相关绩效成果的组合，从而提高了学者对机智的理解。我们的分析揭示了两种资源动员的轨迹，其特征是随着风险投资的发展，贿赂和寻求资源的动态组合不同。高绩效企业在开发和动态交替选择较低和较高级别的Bricolage时增加了对资源的寻求，并在获得大量资源后选择重新选择Bricolage。我们通过风险企业对催化事件的反应以及对当地环境以外资源空间的重新解释来解释轨迹的差异。
