The Impact of Big Data Capabilities on Agri‐tech Firm Innovation:
A Moderated Mediation Model

Abstract:Whether big data capabilities strengthen firm innovation has been paid much scholarly attention in recent years. However,
most of the scholars just generally explore the direct relationship between big data capabilities and firm innovation,the in‑depth
research on the potential mediator and moderator in this important link are still sparse,especially on the agri‑tech firm context.
Invoking the dynamic capability theory,a moderated mediation model in which organizational learning mediates the interactive effects
of big data capabilities and market orientation on firm innovation was developed. Our hypotheses were tested using a sample of 181
Chinese agri‑tech firms. The results reveal that big data capabilities have significant positive efforts on firm innovation. Both exploratory
learning and exploitative learning fully mediate the link between big data capability and firm innovation. The mediation effect of
exploitative learning is positively contingent upon market orientation,however,market orientation does not positively moderate the
mediation effect of exploratory learning.
