摘　　要：创新是引领发展的第一动力,在位企业创新是产业转型升级与高质量发展的微观着力点。基于A股上市公司数据,实证分析发现:高管海外背景正向影响在位企业探索式创新。调节效应分析表明,高管团队异质性、业绩期望落差在高管海外背景对在位企业探索式创新影响过程中发挥倒U型调节作用,地区数字经济发展水平正向调节高管海外背景对在位企业探索式创新的影响。机制分析结果表明,高管海外背景可以通过强化高管过度自信、提升企业风险承担水平和优化企业人力资本结构促进在位企业探索式创新。As the constant change in today's world has impinged on enterprises,exploratory innovation is critical for enterprises to stay adaptive and competitive.However,conventional Chinese entrepreneurs deeply imbued with entrenched traditional conceptions(e.g.,high uncertainty avoidance and collectivism)are more skilled in exploitative innovation than exploratory ones with search,variation,and experimentation.Therefore,it is necessary to clarify how to embrace exploratory innovation in a fast-changing world.A large extent of the prior literature has explored external environmental factors and resource configurations as antecedents of exploratory innovation,which means that external or firm-level factors are dominant,whereas managers are homogeneous individuals.Theoretically,as the core decision-makers in organizations,top managers rely on their cognitive foundations and values,which are shaped by demographic characteristics and personal experiences,thereby interpreting and distorting information from the external environment,ultimately affecting strategic decisions and company performance.Thus,it is essential to look back at top managers to investigate the antecedents of exploratory innovation.In particular,certain facets of overseas experience(e.g.,special job scope and high complexity)influence dimensions of personality,such as locus of control,attribution propensity,and emotional well-being.Empirically,China provides a unique environment to verify the association between managerial overseas experience and exploratory innovation.Even though the number and portion of individuals with foreign training returning to China have been increasing in recent years,whether these returnees can play their role remains an under-researched question.The incumbent firms are supposed to attract more attention than other firms in exploratory innovation since they are abundant with relations and connections from diversified contextual factors.Thus,contextual factors should be taken into consideration.For example,the vision and cognition
