Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of venture capital participation on corporate innovation and to assess how internationalization strategies (including both the internationalization scope and speed) in mediating serve as intermediaries in the relationship between venture capital and corporate innovation. Design/methodology/approach: Using hierarchical regression analysis, this research tests the hypothesized framework using survey data collected from 442 high-tech enterprises listed on the A-share markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, spanning from 2010 to 2019. Findings: The study reveals a non-linear (U-shaped) correlation between venture capital investment and innovation. This non-linear linkage is facilitated through the execution of enterprises' strategies for international expansion. The primary finding suggests that venture capital participation positively influences the rapidity and extent of internationalization. Additionally, a U-shaped relationship is observed between corporate innovation and both the speed and scope of internationalization. Originality/value: This document contributes insights into the micro-level mechanisms that explain the effects of venture capital and internationalization strategy on corporate innovation. The results offer multinational corporations practical guidance for executing their internationalization strategies effectively and fostering innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
