The conclusion of this paper is that at the micro level, the deeper the resource embedding and relationship embedding, the more immigrant enterprises will prefer exploratory innovation such as changing the enterprise industry and changing the business model. Cultural embedding is just the opposite. The deeper the cultural embedding, the more immigrant enterprises will complete developmental innovation by applying explicit knowledge such as learning local culture, changing product design, and improving management experience. On the meso level, the deeper the market is embedded, the more immigrant companies prefer to choose new markets, or choose more profitable industries to complete exploratory innovation. At the macro level, the deeper the degree of economic embedding, political embedding, and embedding of laws, the more difficult it is for immigrant entrepreneurs to cope with the impact of macro-environmental change through developmental innovation, and they can only be forced to adopt exploratory innovation. In terms of the origin country factor, immigrant entrepreneurs can take advantage of the development results and opportunities from their origin countries, and use their own advantages in both the original and residential countries to provide their immigrant enterprises better development through exploratory innovation.
