Bricolage is commonly recognized as a practice of non-traditional resource mobilization by immigrant entrepreneurs within their country of residence. When the host country is in an adversarial social and institutional context characterized by the liability of foreignness, we posit that accessing “resources at hand” in the external environment is hampered by anti-immigrant sentiments, both socially and institutionally. Through a rigorous analysis of eight cases of immigrant entrepreneurs and their South African-based enterprises, we apply Bourdieu’s theory of practice to examine the practice of bricolage at a more nuanced level. Our findings suggest that the localized prejudice against immigrants ‘otherizes’ their foreignness, and in turn, heightens the entrepreneurs’ awareness of their habitus. We argue that the immigrants’ ‘heightened habitus’ represents an internalization of both cognitive (i.e. resources at head) and adaptive (i.e. resources at heart) dispositions informed by the home country, and which serve as crucial endogenous resources by which to reimagine and reconstruct external resources accessed via local social capital. We present the novel theoretical contribution of immigrant entrepreneurial bricolage as the utilization of both endogenous resources at head and heart, which are activated by – and intended to overcome – their liability of foreignness. Our contribution also aims to reconstruct the frequently referenced exogenous resources at hand.

“手头、头脑和心灵的资源”：“提高习惯”作为移民创业拼凑的内源性资源

Bricolage 通常被认为是移民企业家在其居住国内调动非传统资源的一种做法。当东道国处于以外国人责任为特征的对抗性社会和制度环境中时，我们假设在外部环境中获取“手头资源”会受到社​​会和制度上的反移民情绪的阻碍。通过对 8 个移民企业家及其在南非的企业案例的严格分析，我们运用布迪厄的实践理论在更细致的层面审视拼贴实践。我们的研究结果表明，对移民的本地化偏见使他们的外来性“其他化”，进而提高了企业家对其习惯的认识。我们认为，移民的“高度习惯”代表了由母国告知的认知（即头脑中的资源）和适应性（即内心的资源）倾向的内化，并作为重新构想和重建的关键内生资源。通过当地社会资本获取的外部资源。我们提出了移民企业家拼凑的新颖理论贡献，即在头脑和内心对内源性资源的利用，这些资源被——并旨在克服——他们的外来责任所激活。我们的贡献还旨在重建手头经常引用的外源资源。并作为关键的内生资源重新构想和重建通过当地社会资本获取的外部资源。我们提出了移民企业家拼凑的新颖理论贡献，即在头脑和内心对内源性资源的利用，这些资源被——并旨在克服——他们的外来责任所激活。我们的贡献还旨在重建手头经常引用的外源资源。并作为关键的内生资源重新构想和重建通过当地社会资本获取的外部资源。我们提出了移民企业家拼凑的新颖理论贡献，即在头脑和内心对内源性资源的利用，这些资源被——并旨在克服——他们的外来责任所激活。我们的贡献还旨在重建手头经常引用的外源资源。
