This systematic review, conceptualization, and research agenda on bricolage aims to consolidate the fragmented field by conducting a literature review of bricolage-focused research, offering an integrated perspective based on prior contributions. A systematic literature review of 126 articles was carried out, utilizing the Web of Science as the primary data source. The focus was on clarifying the concept and its subtypes and examining common themes in existing literature to establish a cohesive conceptualization of bricolage. The primary finding is the conceptualization of a multi-level framework encompassing the who-when-how-what dimensions of bricolage, which can serve as a foundation for future research. Additionally, we consolidate and present bricolage subtypes while questioning their utility in research and practice. Furthermore, we analyze research trends over time and summarize the ongoing practical and conceptual discourse aimed at distinguishing bricolage from related, overlapping concepts. Finally, we provide recommendations for future research, facilitating the continued growth of the bricolage field in a harmonious manner. The concept of bricolage, defined as 'making the most of available resources,' has been widely studied in entrepreneurship and innovation literature. Since 2000, over 1487 articles have been published featuring bricolage as a main theme, with over 50% of this body of work appearing within the last five years. Bricolage is an adaptive strategy where entrepreneurs continuously navigate constraints using available resources. This approach transcends traditional resource-based views, highlighting the entrepreneur's agility and capacity to innovate within limitations. The concept of bricolage has gained increasing traction, particularly in regional contexts characterized by resource scarcity. Scholars have subjected this concept to rigorous examination to facilitate empirical analysis. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more urgent to study and understand strategies such as bricolage which have contributed to overcoming constraints and crisis management. Numerous contributions have explored various aspects and nuances of bricolage, inadvertently contributing to a fragmented understanding of the concept, and lacking an epistemological consensus hampers the opportunity for a better understanding of what constitutes bricolage. Therefore, synthesizing these contributions and organizing existing knowledge on bricolage is crucial for advancing academic comprehension and guiding future research. Much of the bricolage literature is empirical, examining one or few themes within specific entrepreneurial contexts. While this deepens our understanding of certain facets of bricolage, it hinders the formation of a comprehensive, macro-level view. Addressing these concerns and opportunities, our study aims to construct a holistic and multilevel understanding of bricolage, by answering to four lines of enquiry that attends to the who, when, how, and what of bricolage. We embark on a systematic review of 126 bricolage articles published in academic journals ranked in the 2021 Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Guide (AJG). By analysing these articles, we strive to synthesizeThis systematic review, conceptualization, and research agenda on bricolage aims to consolidate the fragmented field by conducting a literature review of bricolage-focused research, offering an integrated perspective based on prior contributions.
