摘　　要：针对企业构建政治关联能否激发以及怎样激发商业模式创新的问题,本文构建了政治关联在吸收能力调节下影响商业模式创新的理论模型。基于广东与上海384个公司的问卷调查发现:公司政治关联的存在促进了其商业模式创新,知识消化能力正向调节了政治关联与商业模式创新之间的关系,而知识获取能力则在政治关联与商业模式创新之间的关系中起到了负向调节作用。这些发现一定程度揭示了企业政治关联影响商业模式创新的内在机制,区分了不同维度吸收能力调节作用的异质性,从而深化了企业政治关联与商业模式创新的文献、推动了商业模式创新实践的进行。In the study of the effects of political connections,there are always confusing findings. It is not unusual to find positive,negative and even mix effects in the literatures. To explicate these puzzles and further investigate the effects of the political connections, we combine both perspectives of the political connections and the business model innovations together, introduce political connections into this new fast-developed field and very popular business practices in the worldwide. In this study, we construct a theoretical model and propose that the confusing effects of political connections may come from the firm-specific context of the absorptive capacity. Absorptive capacity is a set of organizational routines and processes, by which firms acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit knowledge to produce a dynamic organizational capability. As one of the most important resources, political connections help firms to find and assimilate necessary information to pursuit business model innovation, and thus influence the strategic changes of business models in the all three levels including business system innovation, organizational inertia innovation, and cognitive innovation. Whether the governments exemplify "the grabbing hand ", i.e. negative effects of political connections, or "the helping hand", i.e. the positive effects of political connections, depends on the specific context of the firm′s absorptive capacity. When absorptive capacity is further classified into the knowledge acquisition capacity(KAC) and the knowledge digestion capacity(KDC), the KAC has the similar functions of the political connections facilitating firms to obtain needed information, and exemplifies the "substitution effect"and thus weakens the effect of the political connections. However, the KDC helps firms to utilize the key information and resources obtained from the political connections, and exemplify the "complementarity effect "and thus strengthens the effects of the political connections. So in the context of a firm with h
