Strategic learning, as a powerful way for organizations to enhance organizational innovation and competitive advantage in a highly volatile environment, has increasingly attracted the attention of academic and practical circles. However, there are still many problems in the subject of the research, such as chaos in the measurement of variables, lack of system integration and coherence, etc., which is not conducive to the theoretical research and empirical development of strategic learning.

Therefore, this paper firstly collects the research literature related to strategic learning, classifies and summarizes different conceptual perspectives of strategic learning, and analyzes similar concepts with strategic change and organizational learning to clarify the conceptual connotation of strategic learning. The study finds that the academic community mainly discusses the conceptual connotation of strategic learning from the perspective of learning, competence and integration. According to source of knowledge learning, strategic learning can be broadly divided into strategic learning from failure learning, strategic learning based on strategic activities, and cross-organizational strategic learning based on executive flow. This paper further examines the different structural dimensions and related measurements of strategic learning. The result shows that strategic learning has experienced a process from a single dimension to multi-dimensional development, and has been measured through the subjective measurement method.

Then, this paper summarizes the theoretical basis, influencing factors and effects of strategic learning research. The result indicates that the existing research mainly uses knowledge-based theory, resource-based theory, organizational learning theory and dynamic capabilities theory to explore and understand the complex learning activities. The influencing factors of strategic learning mainly come from the organizational level and the manager level, and less attention is paid to the external environment level factors. The impact of strategic learning is mainly reflected in organizational variables such as business restructuring, strategic performance, organizational financial performance, organizational capacity and innovation. The effects of strategic learning are manifested in two aspects: mediating effect and moderating effect.

Finally, based on the above literature review and analysis, we draw a research framework for strategic learning and propose research directions with great development potential in the future. This paper helps to deepen the understanding of strategic learning, and provides important theoretical reference and management practice for researchers and managers of strategic learning.
