Research On Spatial Distribution And Organization Network Of China's Logistics Enterprises

In the context of current economic globalization,China's cities are experiencing a period of rapid development.As an important carrier of social and economic activities,logistics enterprises affect the effective allocation of resources and the reasonable operation of production space.On the other hand,with the rapid development of transportation technology and information technology,communication and connection between cities is becoming more and more important.Frequently,"flow space" has gradually replaced "local space" as a new research topic.Many scholars began to study the characteristics of organizational network structure at different scales from the perspective of enterprise organization network.Based on the data of China's advanced logistics enterprises in 2018,this study extracts the data of all its branches and foreign investment enterprises according to the industrial and commercial registration information,and analyzes the spatial distribution characteristics of the time nodes in 1998,2008 and 2018.Secondly,the "headquarters-branch" is used as a research perspective to measure the network connection between logistics enterprises and branches and foreign investment enterprises,and to explore the characteristics of their network topology.The results of this paper show that:(1)The distribution of time and space in China's logistics enterprises is uneven,and the spatial differences are significant.The distribution of logistics enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta,Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Pearl River Delta regions is the most intensive.(2)The distribution of logistics enterprises is significant,and the overall situation is agglomerated,but the concentration of Chengdu is decreasing.The performance of coastal areas is more concentrated and the inland areas are more dispersed.The main urban agglomerations in China are concentrated hotspots.The distribution of logistics enterprises has gradually spread,and the junction of Henan Province,Anhui Province and Hubei Province is the main moving direction of logistics enterprises.(3)The development of logistics enterprise networks is still in its infancy,and the links between coastal and inland logistics enterprises need to be strengthened.Shanghai and Beijing have become the center of logistics network,and the logistics links between the three major urban agglomerations of Beijing-TianjinHebei,Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are the closest.(4)The logistics network structure presents an unbalanced development trend.The coastal economically developed cities have become important nodes of the headquarters and branches,and have shown significant clustering.The cities in the western regions are still in an isolated state in the logistics network.
