“…We propose a methodological approach to understand how SPCI practices mold value co-creation and how they can be used to define value propositions. To do so, we apply the conceptual thinking of S-D logic (Vargo & Lusch, 2004, we draw on previous practice theory research (Lombardo & Kvålshaugen, 2014;Sandberg & Tsoukas, 2011;Schau et al, 2009) and we borrow the notions of social field and capital from the sociology literature (Bourdieu, 1987;Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992). We define value accordingly in terms of the coexistence of diverse forms of capital and currency variations.…”

“…By adopting a relational ontology of the creative process, a new wave of scholarship views social relations as ontologically primary and entities as ontologically derivative (Hjorth, 2005;Lombardo & Kvålshaugen, 2014;Steyaert, 2007). In doing so, organisational creativity is redefined as a process of engagement in creative acts, regardless of whether eventual outcomes are deemed useful (Drazin, Glynn, & Kazanjian, 1999;Driver, 2008;Flexner, 1939;Nayak, 2008).…”

Scholars adopting a relational ontology of organisational creativity have shifted attention away from a preoccupation with individual minds towards that which is enacted, emergent, shared, unpredictable and contingent. This article follows suit, yet breaks new ground by reconsidering how the mind plays an active role in unfolding creative interactions by building a bridge between literature on organisational creativity, aesthetics and philosophy of imagination. I draw on English Romanticism to craft a theoretical model of organisational creativity as an aesthetic and relational process of shared imagining. This model demonstrates how organisational members use primary and secondary modes of imagination and creative expression to develop, materialise and share perceptions and images of possible futures. By elaborating on their interplay, this article contributes to literature by theorising an active and generative role of mind that does not have the ontological shortcomings of leading theories. In turn, this has a number of implications for literature on entrepreneurship and organisational creativity in terms of situating and embodying creative thinking, explaining the intentionality and motivation for creative actions, overcoming perceptual differences and changing practices and routines.

“…Bricolage is one form of constraint-shattering activity that entrepreneurs and the employees in an organization implement (Lombardo & Kvalshaugen, 2014). In the start-up phase, many entrepreneurs who have insufficient resources manage to utilize the existing resources at hand in new combinations.…”

Structured AbstractPurpose -The article aims to understand how resource constraints are addressed in the development of a marketing strategy by a social enterprise.Methodology -The authors have used an in-depth case study of collaboration between a Finnish university and an Indian social enterprise as the methodology for our research in which the data were collected over a period of two years. The data involve semi-structured interviews, field notes and student reports.Findings -The authors propose bricolage as a method of marketing ingenuity in resource-constrained social enterprises. Network bricolage and entrepreneurship education bricolage were identified as two mechanisms adopted to address resource constraints in the early stage of the development of a social enterprise.Research limitations/ implications -Network bricolage is a type of bricolage in which an entrepreneur utilizes existing personal and professional networks as a resource at hand. Whereas networking and resource leveraging imply that the founders of an organization pursue resources from previously unknown people, network bricolage involves already known contacts of the entrepreneur. Further studies need to be conducted to test the applicability of network bricolage among a variety of small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups. Bricolage could be explored in more detail as an alternative to resource leveraging to understand the marketing activities of social businesses in their initial stages.Practical implications -Another type of bricolage that the authors observed was entrepreneurship education bricolage. A combination of students, business mentors and university resources such as faculty members was utilized as an ingenuity mechanism to develop creative solutions for a shortage of marketing resources.Originality/value -The theoretical framework of entrepreneurial bricolage is applied in the context of the marketing of a social enterprise.
