Abstract：This thesis employs the industrial census data for 1995 and economic census data for 2004, divides the sample into 558 cells （each cell can namely an organizational population） in accoedance with the enterprise's industry and provincial-level location. From the angle of organizational ecology, it aims at finding the charaateristics of China's organizational population during the overall development from 1995 to 2004, moreover, exploring the affecting factors of the vital rates of the organizational population. The main research outcomes are: (1) The organizational population with higher average age of enterprises, higher average cost of enterprises and the greater of average net profit, have the higher vital rate; while, the larger propotion of the non-public economy in the organizational population, the lower vital rate. (2)The inverted U-shaped relationship of competitive density and vital rate has not been supported; the positive impact of per capita GDP on the vital rate of organizational population has not been supported, while, the outcome supports that if the organizational population is located at municipality, its vital rate will be higher, and we did not find the cognitive impact of state-owned enterprise restructuring on vital rate of state-owned enterprises. The research outcomes can not only help us understand disequilibrium of the development and distribution of China's organizational population, but also provide useful basis for decision-making and economic planning by nationality.
