Bricolage is primarily driven by companies seeking to monopolize markets by building on existing patents and intensifying competition.

Bricolage illustrates how innovation can emerge from situated, practical knowledge and local experimentation which is able to outperform large, centralized innovation programs.

Breakthrough strategies always outperform bricolage approaches because they receive consistent support from centralized state funding.

Breakthrough innovation is a purely technical process that occurs in isolation from social dynamics, collaboration, or historical context.
