Abstract: Since the 1970s the studies of enterprise geography have become increasingly concerned with the spatial evolution of enterprises.However,little attention has so far been given to the spatial evolution of an enterprise in China.With China’s ongoing economic and political reform,a number of fundamental changes of enterprise behavior have occurred.These changes have certainly important influences on evolution of industrial location.Therefore,there is a need for examining the spatial evolution of an enterprise in China. The purpose of the paper is to review major models of both the growth and associated spatial evolution of an enterprise,with an illustrative case study from the Heavy Truck Enterprise Group of China.The paper is divided into three parts.The first examines the spatial growth and location adjustment of multi-plant enterprises,the second reviews major models of spatial evolution of an enterprise,and the third analyses the spatial evolution,over a period of time,of a representative sample of the Heavy Truck Enterprise Group in China,and illustrates the findings with case studies.It is suggested that the models of spatial evolution of an enterprise provide more evidence about micromechanism for evolution of macro-regional economic systems.
