Taking eight social ventures as the research object, this paper adopts the grounded theory method to explore the connotation and dynamic evolution process of resource bricolage behavior of social ventures in the context of China's transformation economy. Research results show that social ventures mainly carry out resource bricolage activities in six fields, including physical resources, human resources, network, skills, market and institutions. Moreover, social ventures adopt different resource bricolage strategies at different stages of their development. During the establishment period, they mainly adopt physical resource bricolage and human resource bricolage strategy. In the survival period, skill bricolage is the preferred strategy.
