This paper analyzes the development process and main controversies of enterprise strategic management over the past 50 years and discusses the reasons behind the chaos of the connotation of strategic management and the tool itself，which is caused by not adhering to the rational and epistemological principles of the strategic management. China’s strategic theory，in general，is still in the stage of using the bringism and the transformation of local logic and does not participate in exploring the nature of the global strategic theory. Besides，the international strategic management theory itself is in the chaos of blind men feeling an elephant and failing to come to any agreement because of the limitation of its methodology. However，the innovation-driven leverage multiplication strategy starts from the essence of epistemology，takes the general phenomenon of enterprise development in China over the past three decades as the object and applies the tools in line with Kant’s principles to analyze the fundamental characteristics of enterprise development in different external environments. This paper demonstrates that the essence of the innovation and entrepreneurship proposed by the Chinese government is the enterprise development strategy and the core of the innovation-driven leverage multiplication strategy is a set of essential enterprise development mode and mechanism. In addition，this paper also introduces the key transformational technology from the traditional profit-oriented enterprise development model to the innovation-driven leverage multiplication strategy development model.
