Drivers and barriers to reshoring: a literature review on offshoring in reverse (2017, background): “Both areas can be placed in the manufacturing-location-decision area of research (McIvor, 2013), and it could therefore be beneficial to compare the two areas in a systematic manner.”
Prior to reshoring: A duration analysis of foreign manufacturing ventures (2015, background): “Recent studies (Dachs and Kinkel, 2013; Johnson et al., 2013; Kinkel, 2014; McIvor, 2013; Tate et al., 2014) have observed that some of the aforementioned criticalities of offshoring as well as other issues (e.”
Offshoring and Reshoring: An Update on the Manufacturing Location Decision (2013, background): “In addition, areas with greater cultural differences or limited intellectual property protection may create a high potential for opportunism and will also be less attractive (McIvor, 2013). Internalization theory also considers the make-orbuy decision and is grounded in the work of Coase (1937). How”
Motivations of manufacturing reshoring: an interpretative framework (2016, unknown): “The efficiency of the governance structure and the search for competitive advantage are issues firms have to deal with when making location decisions (McIvor, 2013).”
Manufacturing reshoring and its limits: the UK automotive case (2014, background): “In particular, reshoring can be studied from a transactions cost perspective: this allows for an understanding of how the spatial dimension (where) intersects with the organisational dimension (firm governance and boundaries) (McIvor, 2013).”
Institutional and strategic operations perspectives on manufacturing reshoring (2016, background): “McIvor (2013) and Ferdows (1997) see the colocation of R&D and production as a way to enhance the innovation potential of the firm.”
