Abstract：It is now just over ten years since productive services and their role in contemporary development has gained more attention. Productive services have huge impact on the development of regional economy in the "service society", it is thus important to attempt a theoretical assessment of the location trends of productive services.
With the rapid development of productive services, more and more researchers pay attention to their location drive. Based on the research at home and abroad, this paper begins with characters of the service production; these characters include face-to-face contact needs in the service exchange and the service buyer's participation in the production process. Second, it discusses their inherent location meanings, and conjoins them with drive mechanisms which influence productive services' location; the drives include non-standard production of productive services, the structural effect of organizations, the face-to-face contact needs during the exchange of service goods, new information technology and local condition etc. Third, it explains the productive services' agglomeration and diffusion. At last, the high-level and non-standard productive services have a trend toward spatial concentration, and there also exists trend toward spatial dispersal of some low-level productive services. During the changing, several factors account for and tend to reinforce the spatial polarization. In a word, their distributing in different areas and countries has different influences.
