在毕业生劳动力市场工作的个人越来越被期望通过在工作场所接受终身教育和学习来提高其就业能力和职业发展。研究已经研究了毕业生如何驾驭这一动态的教育格局，但教育提供者不断变化的性质相对被忽视。作为回应，在本文中，我们研究了以营利为目的的商业教育服务公司的增长，以满足终身学习和教育需求的增长，重点是金融业务教育部门在伦敦。我们开发文化经济方法做市，以了解这些教育服务公司如何通过“稳定”新的教育服务和产品，竞争，并寻求“破坏”，更成熟的商业教育形式，特别是MBA学位的发展。在这样做的过程中，我们将教育服务公司定位为经济地理学中一个重要的，但迄今为止被忽视的商业服务。此外，通过关注相对成熟的营利性教育部门，本文提出的研究对金融商业教育以外的教育景观的发展具有重要意义，因为它们越来越依赖于营利性教育服务公司的活动和更广泛的教育服务市场话语。
Individuals working in graduate labour markets are increasingly expected to enhance their employability and career progression by undertaking lifelong education and learning within the workplace. Research has examined how graduates navigate this dynamic educational landscape, but the changing nature of educational providers has been comparatively neglected. In response, in this paper we examine the growth of for-profit business education service firms that have grown to meet the increased demand for lifelong learning and education by focusing on the financial business education sector in London. We develop cultural economy approaches to market making in order to understand how these educational service firms have developed by ‘stabilising’ new educational services and products that compete with, and seek to ‘destabilise’, more established forms of business education, particularly MBA degrees. In so doing, we position educational service firms as an important, yet hitherto neglected set of business services within economic geography. Moreover, by focusing on a relatively mature for-profit educational sector, the research presented in the paper has important implications for the development of educational landscapes beyond the case of financial business education as they become increasingly beholden to the activities of for-profit education service firms and wider discourses of markets in educational services.
