Abstract

A considerable number of German multinational enterprises (MNE) are located in the Greater Shanghai Area. German MNE in the industrial sector show an inclination to export German forms of technical training—more specifically German-style dual apprenticeship training—to their worldwide subsidiaries. Within China, this is especially the case for the Greater Shanghai Area, which has established itself as a ‘hotspot’ for dual apprenticeship training in the last 15 years. This paper explores what makes the Greater Shanghai Area such a ‘hotspot’ for dual apprenticeship training—in international comparison—by focusing on factors influencing the spatial agglomeration of dual apprenticeship training activities in this region. The paper finds unevenly distributed institutional resources regarding the attraction of German Foreign Direct Investment as well as unevenly distributed resources at the skill formation system level as important influencing factors. Both factors show ‘self-reinforcing’ dynamics strengthening already existing spatial agglomeration of dual apprenticeship training activities.

大上海地区德国式双学徒培训——空间集聚动态

相当多的德国跨国企业(MNE)位于大上海地区。德国工业部门的跨国公司倾向于向其全球子公司出口德国形式的技术培训，更具体地说，是德国式的双学徒培训。在中国，大上海地区尤其如此，在过去的15年里，大上海地区已经成为双轨制学徒培训的“热点”。本文通过分析影响双工培训活动空间集聚的因素，探讨了大上海地区在国际比较中成为双工培训“热点”的原因。本文发现德国吸引外商直接投资的制度资源分布不均和技能形成制度层面的资源分布不均是重要的影响因素。这两个因素都表现出“自我强化”的动态，强化了双重学徒培训活动已经存在的空间集聚。

期刊介绍： Increasing international competition has led governments and corporations to focus on ways of improving national and corporate economic performance. The effective use of human resources is seen as a prerequisite, and the training and development of employees as paramount. The growth of training and development as an academic subject reflects its growth in practice. The International Journal of Training and Development is an international forum for the reporting of high-quality, original, empirical research. Multidisciplinary, international and comparative, the journal publishes research which ranges from the theoretical, conceptual and methodological to more policy-oriented types of work. The scope of the Journal is training and development, broadly defined. This includes: The determinants of training specifying and testing the explanatory variables which may be related to training identifying and analysing specific factors which give rise to a need for training and development as well as the processes by which those needs become defined, for example, training needs analysis the need for performance improvement the training and development implications of various performance improvement techniques, such as appraisal and assessment the analysis of competence Training and development practice the design, development and delivery of training the learning and development process itself competency-based approaches evaluation: the relationship between training and individual, corporate and macroeconomic performance Policy and strategy organisational aspects of training and development public policy issues questions of infrastructure issues relating to the training and development profession The Journal’s scope encompasses both corporate and public policy analysis. International and comparative work is particularly welcome, as is research which embraces emerging issues and developments.
