Abstract: Abstract Competitive advantage of an enterprise stems from its unique value. The purpose of this study is to explore firms on how to utilize ambidextrous networks and dynamic absorption capacity to meet customer needs and create maximum value for the enterprise. This study uses a structural equation model to examine 597 high-tech enterprises in China, these results indicate that ambidextrous networks positively affect value creation. Furthermore, dynamic absorptive capacity and exploratory innovation mediate the relationship between ambidextrous networks and value creation; and resource bricolage interferes with dynamic absorptive capacity and exploratory innovation. The research value of this study provides suggestions for high-tech enterprises facing fierce competition: fully utilizing ambidextrous network resources and piecing together existing idle resources, thereby expanding their use, resolving the contradiction between exploration and innovation, and expanding the network, dynamic absorptive capacity, and value-created theories.
