Abstract External knowledge search is of significant importance for technology-oriented SMEs with insufficient internal resources. Based on the perspective of organizational ambidexterity, this study manages to explore the effect of external knowledge search ambidexterity on the management innovation of SMEs and find out what contingency factors have moderate effects on these relationships. Based on the hierarchical regression analysis using the survey date of 318 SMEs, the following conclusions are drawn:the breadth of knowledge search has an inverted U-shape effect on management innovation of SMEs; the depth of knowledge search has a U-shape effect on management innovation; balanced knowledge search has a positive impact on management innovation, while combined knowledge search has no significant impact on management innovation.

Key words： Knowledge Search Breadth Knowledge Search Depth Balanced Knowledge Search Combined Knowledge Search Knowledge Search Ambidexterity Management Innovation
