外部搜索策略对企业技术创新绩效的有着重要影响，而知识吸收能力在此过程中起着调节作用，本文基于理论分析，提出研究假设，并通过问卷调查收集数据，采用结构方程模型进行实证研究。结果表明：外部搜索策略的搜索广度对企业技术创新绩效存在显著正向影响，知识吸收能力正向调节搜索广度对企业技术创新绩效的影响；外部搜索策略的搜索深度与技术创新绩效呈倒U型关系，知识吸收能力调节了搜索深度对技术创新绩效的影响。

Based on theoretical analysis about the influence of external search tactics on firm's technology innovation performance, and studies moderating effect of knowledge absorptive capacity in this process, this paper comes up with corresponding research hypothesis, and applies the questionnaire survey method and structural equation model in empirical research. The results show that search breadth of external search tactics has a significantly positive impact on technology innovation performance, and knowledge absorptive capacity has a positive moderating effect between the external search breadth and technology innovation performance; search depth of external search tactics is curvilinearly (taking an inverted U-shape) related to technology innovation performance, and knowledge absorptive capacity moderate this relationship.
