Abstract
Although existing studies agree that big data analytics capability (BDAC) could improve firm performance, there is still a blank map in discussing its mechanisms and conditions. To fill this research gap, this study develops a theoretical model by examining the intermediating role of corporate digital entrepreneurship and discussing the moderating role of institutional support. Supported by primary data from 340 Chinese firms, the results demonstrate that BDAC can improve firm performance by facilitating corporate digital entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, institutional support strengthens the relationship between BDAC, corporate digital entrepreneurship, and firm performance. Finally, institutional support also positively moderates the indirect effect of corporate digital entrepreneurship. These findings generate new knowledge into the mechanisms and conditions by which BDAC improves firm performance.
