Understanding the networking expansion of major foreign enterprises within the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is a key step toward answering how global factors take part in the construction of the integrated development of this region. Against this backdrop, this research tracks the networking processes of major foreign enterprises in the YRD since the reform and opening-up. This research employs a multi-dimensional analysis framework constituted by sources of enterprises, city characteristics, historical paths and specific events, to decompose the dynamic mechanism behind enterprises' networking progresses. The results are as follows: Major foreign enterprises have experienced preparing expansion, fluctuating expansion, fast expansion and stable expansion temporally, and represented phased evolution spatially. Asia-Pacific enterprises prefer to neighboring expansion, while European and American enterprises prefer to hierarchical expansion. Economic background, business environment, physical conditions and innovation abilities highly affect site selection of enterprises' expansion. The effect of path-dependence is significantly existed in the networking expansion of major foreign enterprises. Global, national and local changes in terms of economic-political environments have the potential to affect the expansion of major foreign enterprises.
