Abstract: Based on the sample of A-share listed companies in China's pharmaceutical and biological manufacturing industry during 2013-2017, from the perspective of corporate business transaction activities and financial transaction activities, the negative binomial regression model is used in the analysis of the relationship between the different open behaviors of enterprises and the ambidextrous innovation activities of the organization, as well as the moderating role of absorptive capacity. The empirical results show that enterprises adopting inbound open innovation can promote organizational exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation activities, while companies adopting outbound open innovation can inhibit organizational ambidextrous innovation. The absorptive capacity plays a positive role in regulating the impact of inbound and outbound open innovation access to resources on the process of organizational ambidextrous innovation.

Key words: technological innovation; open innovation; exploratory innovation; exploitative innovation; absorptive capacity
