Abstract
Many pieces of research have shown that political connection has an essential effect on enterprise innovation. This paper discusses the influence of an entrepreneur’s political connection on the ambidextrous innovation of entrepreneurial firms. Based on panel data of listed entrepreneurial firms of China's Growth Enterprise Market from 2012 to 2017, this paper uses a negative binomial regression model with random effect to do theoretical and empirical research. The results show that China’s entrepreneurial firms tend to choose exploitation innovation rather than exploration innovation. Entrepreneur’s political connection has a positive relationship with exploration innovation of entrepreneurial firms, but an inverse U type relationship with exploitation innovation of entrepreneurial firms.
