【摘要】 独角兽企业是指在资本市场实现高估值、高增长的初创企业，作为大科技型初创要素，在近年来迅速崛起为理论研究关注的重点。在辨析独角兽企业独特性的基础上，文章系统性梳理了近年来地理学针对独角兽企业的研究进展，围绕独角兽企业的空间格局及其机制，独角兽企业的人地关系互动过程与机制两个关键研究内容展开分析。文献综述揭示出了独角兽企业研究正逐步嵌入到地理学不同研究分支的热点话题中，同时也存在着对于结构性因素分析与单一维度区域效应研究的过度依赖。在揭示针对这一新兴经济地理要素研究存在知识欠缺的同时，文章结合地理学的理论研究前沿，在数字化与平台化、全球生产网络与价值链、资产化与金融化等视角下展望了针对独角兽企业研究的关键议题。深入探索独角兽企业与区域发展之间的关联及其背后复杂的人地关系互动机制，对于实现新时期人文地理学的理论创新与探索更合理的创新发展战略具有重要的现实意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 Unicorn enterprises, which are startups that show high valuations and rapid growth in the capital market, have emerged as significant elements within the realm of large-scale innovative technology. Therefore, they have become an increasing focus on theoretical research over recent years. Based on the analysis about characteristics of unicorn enterprises, this article systematically reviews the research progress of geography on these entities, focusing on the spatial pattern and mechanism of unicorn enterprises, as well as the process and mechanism of human environment interaction in unicorn enterprises. The literature review reveals that research on unicorn enterprises is gradually becoming a hot topic embedded in various branches of geographical science. However, there is also an over-reliance on structural factor analysis and single-dimensional regional effects studies, which may limit the comprehensive understanding of these enterprises. While highlighting the knowledge gaps in the study of this emerging economic element, the article, in conjunction with the cutting-edge theoretical research in geography, anticipates pivotal research issues in the study of unicorn enterprises from the perspectives of digitalization and platformization, global production networks and value chains, and assetization and financialization. A deep exploration of the relationship between unicorn enterprises and regional development, along with the complex humangeographic interaction mechanisms underlying it, holds significant importance. Such an exploration is crucial for achieving theoretical innovation in human geography in the new era and for devising more rational strategies of innovation-driven development.更多还原
