Drivers and barriers to reshoring: a literature review on offshoring in reverse (2017, background): “While Kinkel and others researching the reshoring phenomenon in Europe found that reshoring mostly happens on a continental level rather than from China or other far-off locations, Fratocchi’s et al.’s (2014) dataset implies that almost 70 percent of all reshoring cases described reshoring activitie”
Motivations of manufacturing reshoring: an interpretative framework (2016, unknown): “More specifically, Germany is the only country for which longitudinal data are available (Kinkel, 2012; Kinkel, 2014; Kinkel et al., 2007; Kinkel and Maloca, 2009).”
Bringing it all back home? Backshoring of manufacturing activities and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (2019, background): “Backshoring (or ‘reshoring’) has recently received broad attention in the academic literature (De Backer et al., 2016; Fratocchi et. al., 2014; George et al., 2014; PwC, 2014; Kinkel, 2012; BCG, 2011; Kinkel & Maloca, 2009), and even more attention in public debates.”
Institutional and strategic operations perspectives on manufacturing reshoring (2016, background): “…for long lead times, costs of communication between teams in different countries, administration costs, costs of raw materials, costs due to currency fluctuations, taxes, import duties and hidden costs (Holweg, Reichhart, and Hong 2011; Kinkel 2012; Horn, Schiele, and Werner 2013; Regalado 2013).”
Offshoring and backshoring: A multiple case study analysis (2017, background): “Other authors (e.g., Ellram et al., 2013; Kinkel, 2012) highlight that sometimes companies offshore their manufacturing activities due to key customers’ demand to produce in their proximity, especially in business-to-business relations, or because of countertrade requirements (Nassimbeni et al.,…”
Manufacturing reshoring and its limits: the UK automotive case (2014, background): “Indeed, manufacturing reshoring is a major topic of current debate in several countries, including Germany (Dachs and Kinkel, 2013; Kinkel 2012, 2014), the US (Ellram et al., 2013) and the UK (Merlin-Jones, 2012), despite evidence of the phenomenon in the latter being somewhat thin.”
