Abstract Based on the related thinking that strategy is practice, in the way of theoretical deduction, this research proved that resource constraints were the preconditions for applying entrepreneurial bricolage theory; and then took four typical start-ups in resource constraint situations as the research objects, following the grounded theory paradigm to identify the resources elements of entrepreneurial bricolage at hand in order to deepen the theoretical core of entrepreneurial bricolage. Research found that resource-constrained companies used resources on hand to build a resource base and confirmed that resources on hand are accessible, usable and low-cost. Furthermore, this study conducted a theoretical dialogue between the identified resources elements at hand and the researches on resource boundary management, and pointed out that the construction of resources at hand not only needed to identify the boundary elements of resources, but also enhance management awareness and resource vigilance.
