With the help of systemic overview of the foreign logistics innovation papers published from 2000 to 2015,the authors review and classify the related studies,and carry out in- depth analysis on some representative documents. It is found that,foreign related studies are all based on comparatively mature theoretical foundation and research perspective;the content focused on the importance and driving forces of logistic innovation,and its impacts on enterprises. Service innovation and innovation management are the important branches of logistic innovation,which the future related research should focuse on. Besides,such issues as innovation system and process,innovation related risks and cost,network innovation,and innovation-oriented value creation will be the direction and trend of future related research.
