企业研究的时间地理学框架——兼论泰勒模式的时间地理学解释

A Time-geographical Framework in Enterprise Study——A Re-explanation of Taylor Model

企业空间扩张是公司地理学研究的重要内容。文章引入关注时空坐标系下对个人或群体的连续活动以及所面临的制约条件进行独到分析的时间地理学概念和理论体系 ,通过“时空棱柱”、“制约”等核心概念扩张性的应用 ,对企业空间扩张的代表性理论———泰勒模式做出新的诠释 ,并以此为基础尝试提出企业研究的时间地理学框架 ,展望了时间地理学在有关企业家研究、创新扩散研究、企业时间管理、企业行为的制约体系等方面的应用前景。

In this paper, the authors give a detailed introduction of applying the methods of time-geography to the studies of enterprises. First, Taylor Model, which focuses on the spatial expansion of enterprises, is explained in a new angle of view. By so, we attempt to bring forward the time-geographical framework of enterprises study. In this framework points out some other feasible applications of time geography in the near future besides the spatial expansion of enterprises, which include entrepreneurs' life path, the innovation of technology and its spatial diffusion, the constraint-system of enterprise behaviors and activities, the interrelationship of the time-spatial path of enterprise and regional development, the time management of enterprises, and so on.
