In view of the problems that there is still no consensus on the ideology, the theory and the methodology of ST strategy and still need further perfecting, this article traced the evolution of the ideology and theory of strategy, and summarized the corresponding characteristics of the strategic ideology in different historical stages and application fields. Furthermore, we proposed the connotation and characteristics of the concept of ST strategy in China, and put forward six types of research paradigms for ST strategy on the basis of investigating the relevant researches on ST strategy, i.e., strategic paradigm of following innovation (1st), strategic paradigm dominated by politics (2nd), strategic paradigm led by scene screening (3rd), strategic paradigm promoted by technology (4th), strategic paradigm proposed by the academia (5th), strategic paradigm driven by competition (6th). At last, the integrated research framework for the research of ST strategy is proposed, which cover all the above 6 paradigms.
