Abstract In order to explore how firms improve innovation abilities with the help of intellectual capital, this study uses fit theory to explore the effects of combining dimensions of intellectual capital on facilitating a firm's ability to pursue explorative and exploitative innovation strategies.Using a primary survey sample of 246 high-tech companies in China, we found that the supplementary fit between organizational capital and human capital has a significantly positive impact on the success of an exploitative innovation.The supplementary fit between organizational capital and human capital has a stronger positive association with both exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation when social capital is higher.We also found that the complementary fit among organizational, human,and social capital fosters ambidextrous innovation.
