Therefore, weuse a structural equation model to examinethe relationship betweencorporate networks, ambidextrous innovation, and competitive advantage with a sample of 384 high-tech enterprises gathered from Zhongguancunin Beijing and Shenzhen High-tech Industrial Development Zone. The results show that both corporate networks and ambidextrous innovationhadpositive effects on competitive advantage; moreover, the relationship between corporate networks and competitive advantage was mediated only by ambidextrous combination. The results of the multi-group analysis also show corporate networks had a stronger effect on manufacturers’ competitive advantage andambidextrous combinationthan that of service enterprises; while the ambidextrous combination had a greater effect on competitive advantages of service enterprises.
