A Research On The Developing Pattern Of Producer Services' Agglomeration Area In Shanghai

From the 1970s foreign scholars began to study the producer services and their agglomeration . With the decrease of the services' trade barriers and to seek more benefit, MNCs adjusted the industrial structure in the way of international transfer. In the mean time, Shanghai had the condition to transfer the economic structure from the "industrial economy "to "economy of services", decided to develop the producer services energetically in the near future, and set up many agglomeration areas to carry on the international transfer of services.But the traditional theory of manufacture and service had the difficulty in explaining the producer services' agglomeration areas, we should seek new reasons, new patterns and new influencing factors. With the development of producer services, Shanghai could transit the economic structure and the increasing code, further the steps from the regional city to global city.This paper studied the following contents:(1)The internal and external conditions for Shanghai to develop the producer services. The external conditions were the international industrial transfer, whereas the internal conditions were the economic actualities in Shanghai;(2)To discuss the influencing factors to choose the model of producer services' agglomeration from the supply of production factors, market demand, design the system, the telecommunication and IT infrastructures , external circumstances and location;(3) Use the theory of industrial agglomeration to explain the representative and innovational models of Shanghai's producer services;(4) This part was the empirical analysis of Shanghai's producer services, which analyzed the industrial relevant domino offect and regional competitive advantages, and used the LQ index to measure the agglomeration degree. (5) Use the C-P model and the experience of developed countries to analyze the overall arrangement of the producer services' agglomeration areas.(6) Giving some suggestions of the ways to carry on the services' international transfer, the governments' proper management, increase the role of agency organization etc.This paper drew some following conclusions:Firtly, to develop the producer services was vital for Shanghai to further the transform the economic increasing methods, and Shanghai also should set up all kinds of agglomeration areas to advance the competitiveness and radiating ability.Secondly, groundings, enterprises and market were the important factors to affect Shanghai's agglomeration area. The government should consider these factors completely to constitute the relevant policies.Thirdly, in the near stage Shanghai should emphasize the embedded model of producer services' agglomeration area, at the same time develop the innovational model in the different period and region.Lastly, there were distinct relevancy effect beween producer services and other industries. It was necessary to have the overall arrangement in the central city and suburbs.This paper had the weakness in the choice of empirical model, the use of the C-P model in the overall arrangements in Shanghai, the comparation among the BPO, FDI and offshoring.
