中國新興工業前沿吸引跨國企業(pdf 8頁)(英文版)

As China becomes increasingly central to the expansion plans of multinational industrial corporations, where to locate their next
Chinese facility is a question being asked of a growing number of global Corporate Real Estate (CRE) executives.
Industrial location decisions in China have traditionally been made on the basis of partial information and a limited
understanding of all the potentially suitable locations. Many decisions have also previously been influenced by the preferences of
local joint venture (JV) partners, which were not always in the best long-term interests of the foreign partner.
Working with a range of multinational firms across the region, Jones Lang LaSalle has developed a framework to objectively
assess competing cities and identify the optimal location for different industrial facilities. We have used this framework to
analyze the suitability of 25 different cities across China for three different types of industrial operations.
? General Industrial Activities. Despite their higher costs, the major cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou remain
attractive locations for these activities, followed closely by established second tier cities such as Suzhou and Tianjin.
? Research & Development. The best locations for R&D and other high value/low volume industrial activities include a mix of
established cities (eg. Shanghai and Guangzhou); established second tier cities with significant levels of overseas investment
(eg. Tianjin and Chengdu) and less established cities that offer access to large, well qualified and lower cost labor markets
(eg. Nanjing, Wuhan and Xian).
