本文利用我国上市公司医药与电子通信行业的198家高科技公司2003年到2012年连续10年的数据，实证检验了高科技公司高管团队成员的专业异质性对企业探索式创新的影响。研究结果表明，高科技公司高管团队的专业异质性能够有效促进企业的探索式创新行为；相比于内部提拔的CEO，来自企业外部的CEO管理企业高管团队时，高管团队的专业异质性对企业探索式创新行为的促进作用会显著减少；股权集中度高的企业比股权集中度低的企业，高管团队的专业异质性对企业探索式创新行为的促进作用会显著加强。

This study empirically examines the effect of TMT profession diversity on firms’ explorative innovation behavior, using data of 198 Chinese listed companies from pharmaceutical and telecommunication industries from 2003 to 2012. The findings suggest that (1) profession diversity of high-tech companies’ TMT can effectively promote explorative innovation behavior;(2) Comparing with internal CEO, the effect of profession diversity on explorative innovation may be weaker in the TMT lead by external CEO; (3) Ownership concentration can strengthen the positive relationship between TMT profession diversity and explorative innovation.
