你是否听说过哪家半导体厂商不但为了员工眷属办学校还经营房地产业务？总部位于上海的中国晶圆代工业者中芯国际(SMIC)就是。
成立于2000年的中芯是中国期望能在全球半导体市场扮演要角的一个象征，为了吸引世界级的一流人才，该公司在总部附近为员工建立了一个住宅社区，内部并有一所备受赞誉的K-12 (编按：幼儿园到12年级)国际学校，该校在2012年时的学生数超过2,000人。

据 了解，中芯建立员工住宅社区以及自有学校的点子来自该公司创办人张汝京(Richard Chang)；为了吸引全球的人才前往中国与中芯任职，他认为应该要在高薪资条件以外，提供更多诱因。因此在中芯成立之初，因为张汝京提供可举家迁居并让 子女接受教育的选项，吸引不少本来并没有打算前往中国工作的高层主管。

中芯从成立至今一路走来并不平顺，除了无法转亏为盈、遭遇诉讼纠纷，近几年来管理团队也屡有变动；虽然该公司仍落后全球其它晶圆代工大厂如台积电(TSMC)、GlobalFoundries等一段距离，在现任CEO邱慈云的率领之下，业务发展似乎渐有起色。

中芯住宅社区距离中芯上海厂区约五分钟车程；中芯的一般员工能以低于市场的价格租赁那些住宅，而一些具备特定资格或达到足够任职年资的员工，甚至能以优惠价购买社区的房产。因此在上海半导体产业界流传着一个笑话，说中芯在经营房地产业务上的表现似乎优于其晶圆代工本业。

2009年的《哈佛商业评论(Harvard Business Review)》曾刊出过一篇文章，深入研究了中芯的经营策略──包括中芯学校；该文指出：“中芯学校的毕业生大多被美国顶尖大学录取，包括许多常春藤名校；因此该校成为上海的明星学校，甚至有许多非中芯员工子女前往就读，占据该校学生六成左右。”

Slideshow: How SMIC attracts talent
Junko Yoshida
Chinese foundry's template for recruitment of world-class talent includes choice residential living and an award-winning school.
SHANGHAI, China – Quick: Name a semiconductor manufacturer that runs a school and a real estate business along with their foundry service.
There’s only one--Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), based in Shanghai.
Founded in 2000, SMIC symbolizes China’s ambition to become a key player in the global semiconductor industry. SMIC also developed a template for successful recruitment of world-class talent, by building close to its headquarters a residential campus together with an award winning K-12 international school, which as of 2012 had an enrollment of more than 2,000 students.
The big idea of developing a residential campus complete with school came from Richard Chang, SMIC’s founder. Chang, even long after he left the company, is still adored and respected by many of SMIC’s employees and the high-tech community in China.
To attract to China and SMIC talented people the world over, Chang figured out that it’s important to go beyond the usual financial incentives. At the inception of SMIC, he offered optional housing and educational programs for those with families. The package clicked with many executives who weren’t initially sure about taking a job in China.
The road SMIC has traveled thus far, however, has been treacherous. The company suffered from decade without profits, lawsuits filed by its rival, and sudden management changes in recent years. Although SMIC still needs to close the gap with the world’s leading foundry companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and GlobalFoundries, the company’s business seems picking up long at last, under the current CEO, Tzu-Yin Chiu.
You’ve probably heard of Foxconn’s dormitories in Shenzhen, jammed with young production line workers recruited from the countryside. Far less known is this semiconductor company–unusual in China or anywhere else in the world–that actually operates a school and provides family living quarters for workers and executives.
The following slideshow illustrates the creation of the SMIC founder Chang--SMIC’s homes and the SMIC School, located within a five-minute drive of SMIC’s Shanghai fab.
These accommodations are rented to SMIC employees at below market prices. Certain employees are even qualified to purchase the properties at a deep discount after a specified period of service. The prevailing joke in the semiconductor business in Shanghai is that SMIC is a bigger success in real estate than it is in the foundry business.
But SMIC deserves credit for writing a text-book scenario on how to set up a successful operation in emerging markets. The key is the school.
The SMIC School, offering an English Track that runs on a U.S. high school curriculum, is known as one of the best schools in Shanghai--even better than the American School in Shanghai--by the expatriate community. On the theory that the best school needs the best teachers, the bilingual school recruited its teaching staff globally, including career educators at prep schools in the United States.
A Harvard Business Review article in 2009 that examined SMIC’s strategy–including the SMIC School–pointed out that “graduates from the school had been admitted to top universities in the U.S., including many Ivy League schools. The school became a popular choice even for non-SMIC employees, which accounted for more than 60 percent of the student body.”
SMIC’s own 260,000-square meter campus is expansive and beautifully landscaped. The living quarters includes big houses for executives, townhouses for employees, and low-cost dormitories for SMIC’s manufacturing assistants.
In short, this may be China, but it ain’t Foxconn.
