The Study decisions were made using the nomothetic approach, survey conducted among 60 product development managers from 10 organizations in the industry revealed that there is a positive relationship between innovative behavior and performance (both outcomes and efficiency). However, this relationship is mediated by the positive effect of collective intelligence within new product development projects. The study has three significant contributions.

Secondly, it empirically and quantitatively investigates the function of bricolage in established organizations.
