Abstract: High-tech entrepreneurship which is driven by innovation is more and more important to the economic growth, but these high-tech start-ups always demonstrate high rate of failure during its development process. Entrepreneurial learning is an important mechanism to break through the liabilities of newness of high-tech entrepreneurship. Based on four high-tech start-ups in Zhejiang, we attempt to explore the relationships among different learning manners, and the dominant learning manner at different development stage. The result shows that action learning is based on experiential learning and cognitive learning, and questioning experience in practice to develop new knowledge. Meanwhile, this study also demonstrates that experiential learning is the dominated learning style in the create period, cognitive learning is dominated in the survival period, and the combination of cognitive learning and action learning is the dominated learning in the growth period. The result contributes to the understanding of entrepreneurial learning in dynamic view and the extension of current theory of entrepreneurial learning.
