Learning and knowledge is typically related, therefore, entrepreneurial knowledge is involved in various studies of entrepreneurial learning, but the present study examining the relationship between entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial knowledge has few in details. This paper draws on from the organizational learning theory and knowledge management theory, combs the existing literatures and finds that scholars follow two views about the relationship between entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial knowledge: entrepreneurial learning is a process of knowledge development, along with knowledge acquisition, sharing, integration and utilization; entrepreneurial learning generates entrepreneurial knowledge, which may also contribute to the acquisition, the integration, and the use of knowledge; and finally, the article briefly describes the deficiencies of the current research, in order to provide future rigorous research and development in practice.
