Introduction
As one of the important support points for China's economic development, the formation and evolution of Guangdong coastal economic city plays a vital role in the development of regional economy.With the accelerated development of globalization and informatization, the evolution of enterprise networks has become an important research topic.

The Formation and Development of the Enterprise Network of Guangdong Coastal Economic Cities
The network of enterprises in Guangdong's coastal economic cities is formed under the influence of several factors.First, the geographical location of Guangdong's coastal area is very important, which makes it an important export base and economic center of China.Secondly, the government's support policies, the positive role of industry associations and professional service institutions also provide conditions for the formation of enterprise networks.In addition, the development of information technology has also facilitated communication and cooperation between enterprises.These factors work together to promote the formation and development of the enterprise network of Guangdong's coastal economic cities.The development process of enterprise network can be divided into three stages, the first stage is the start-up period, which is mainly composed of one-way connections between individual enterprises, and the circulation of information is relatively limited; The second stage is the cluster period, in which enterprises form a cluster network of interconnection and cooperation to improve their competitiveness through mutual cooperation and exchange; The third stage is the group stage, in which enterprises form a cross-regional and cross-industry group network to expand market share and improve profits through cross-field cooperation and resource integration [1] .

Policy Factors
Policy is one of the factors that cannot be ignored in the evolution of enterprise networks.Governments play an important role in guiding the development of enterprise networks.The government of Guangdong's coastal areas has actively promoted the formation and development of enterprise networks through a series of policies, such as mergers and acquisitions, introduction of foreign investment, and optimization of industrial structure.In the early days of enterprise networks, the government encouraged cooperation and exchange between individual enterprises by introducing policies such as tax breaks.During the cluster period of enterprise networks, the government encourages cooperation between enterprises in the same industry and promotes resource sharing and complementarity through the establishment of industrial alliances and industrial chains.During the group period of the enterprise network, the government issued policies to encourage cross-field cooperation and resource integration of enterprises, and promote the market expansion and industrial upgrading of enterprises.The orientation and effect of policies play a crucial role in the evolution of enterprise networks.

Market Factors
The market is one of the important factors influencing the evolution of enterprise networks.The market in the coastal area of Guangdong is very active, with many production factors and resources, and has high consumer demand.The formation and development of enterprise networks benefit from the demand and scale of the market.Competition in the market also promotes cooperation and resource integration between enterprises.In the group period of enterprise network, the cooperation between enterprises is no longer limited to the same industry, but cross-field cooperation, which requires enterprises to have stronger market adaptability and strategic vision.

Technical Factors
Technology is one of the key drivers in the evolution of enterprise networks.With the development and application of information technology, information communication and exchange between enterprises has become faster and more efficient.Enterprises in the coastal areas of Guangdong have a high level of development in information technology, such as Internet technology and intelligent manufacturing, which provides convenience for cooperation and resource integration between enterprises.The development of technology has also promoted the evolution of enterprise networks from the start-up period to the cluster and group stage.In the initial period of enterprise network, the information exchange between individual enterprises mainly relies on traditional mail, fax and other methods, and the information circulation efficiency is inefficient, which limits the development of enterprise network.With the application of Internet technology, the information exchange between enterprises has become more convenient and efficient, which has promoted the formation and development of enterprise networks.The application of intelligent manufacturing technology also provides the possibility for resource sharing and collaborative production between enterprises, and further promotes the evolution of enterprise networks.

Social and Cultural Factors
Social culture is one of the important influencing factors in the evolution of enterprise networks.The coastal areas of Guangdong have a strong commercial culture and private economic atmosphere, which provides the soil for the formation and development of enterprise networks.In the early days of enterprise networks, cooperation between individual businesses needs to be built on trust, and sociocultural influences can help build that trust.During the cluster period of enterprise networks, cooperation between enterprises in the same industry needs to be based on a common culture and values, and the influence of regional culture and business culture can help build this common culture and values.In the group period of the enterprise network, the cooperation between enterprises needs to be based on a common corporate culture and management philosophy, and the influence of social culture can help enterprises establish this common corporate culture and management philosophy [2] .

The Role of Spatial Connection and Information Transmission
The formation and development of enterprise networks are inseparable from spatial connection and information transmission.In Guangdong coastal economic cities, the high-density enterprise groups and transportation networks make the spatial connection between enterprises closer, and facilitate cooperation and communication between enterprises.At the same time, the high speed and extensiveness of information transmission also promote the formation and development of enterprise networks.The transmission of information between enterprises through the Internet, social media and other channels promotes cooperation and resource integration, and further promotes the evolution of enterprise networks.In addition, spatial connection and information transmission also enable enterprises to better obtain market information, more accurate market positioning and strategic planning, which is conducive to the development and growth of enterprises.

The Role of Interest Driving and Industrial Upgrading
Profit driving is an important driving mechanism in the evolution of enterprise networks.Through resource sharing and complementarity, technical exchange and cooperation, enterprises have maximized benefits and minimize risks, further promoting the formation and development of enterprise networks.In addition, industrial upgrading is also an important driving force in the evolution of enterprise networks.In Guangdong's coastal economic cities, the government encourages cross-field cooperation and resource integration of enterprises, promotes the transformation and upgrading of industries to high-end, intelligent, and green, and further promotes the evolution of enterprise networks.The cluster period and group period of enterprise networks require deeper cooperation and resource integration between enterprises, which plays a crucial role in the upgrading and development of the industry.

The Role of Innovation Networks and Regional Economies
Innovation networks and regional economies are also important driving mechanisms for the evolution of enterprise networks.Guangdong coastal economic city has rich talents and scientific and technological resources, through the establishment of innovation network and technological innovation platform, enterprises can carry out technological exchanges and innovation cooperation, promote the formation and development of enterprise network.At the same time, the regional economy also provides important support and promotion for the evolution of enterprise networks.Through the introduction of various preferential policies, the government attracts investment and talents, increases infrastructure construction and industrial support, and provides a good external environment and conditions for the formation and development of enterprise networks.Through innovation cooperation and resource integration, enterprises have improved their competitiveness and innovation capabilities, further promoting the development and growth of regional economies [3] .
