Abstract

Ambidextrous innovation is key to the high-quality and sustainable development of enterprises, but it remains unclear how digital capabilities affect knowledge management and ambidextrous innovation in the digital economy era. Based on organizational learning theory, this paper explores the impact pathways of digital capabilities on knowledge management and ambidextrous innovation, while also analyzing the moderating effect of knowledge inertia. Empirical research on 253 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) demonstrates that digital capabilities have a significant positive effect on both exploitative and exploratory innovation, and they influence both types of innovation through the mediating role of knowledge management. Furthermore, knowledge inertia negatively moderates the impact of digital capabilities on knowledge management and exploratory innovation. This study reveals the internal mechanism by which digital capabilities drive ambidextrous innovation through knowledge management, providing theoretical support for enterprises to deepen digitalization and carry out ambidextrous innovation.
