Motivations of manufacturing reshoring: an interpretative framework (2016, neutral): “Other motivations include the access to products, technologies, or knowledge not available at home (Lewin et al., 2009), the improvement of product quality (Ettlie and Sethuraman, 2002), the development of foreign sales activities (Bozarth et al., 1998; Shi and Gregory, 1998) also through…”
Global Value Chain Configuration: A Review and Research Agenda (2017, background): “Specifically, an important part of the literature has focused on explaining the reasons and effects of locating individual activities in foreign countries (Lewin et al., 2009; Martínez-Noya and García-Canal, 2011; Rodríguez and Nieto, 2016; Schmeisser, 2013).”
Multinational firms and the internationalization of green R&D: A review of the evidence and policy implications ☆ (2015, background): “Lewin et al (2009) find that the shortage of highly skilled science and engineering talent in the US is the most important explanatory factor for offshoring innovation by US firms.”
Drivers and barriers to reshoring: a literature review on offshoring in reverse (2017, background): “In other words, the area of reshoring is largely under-researched (Arlbjørn and Mikkelsen, 2014) unlike its predecessor “offshoring” (e.g., Crinò, 2009; Lewin et al., 2009).”

The Emergence of China and India as New Competitors in MNCs' Innovation Networks (2009, background): “Their knowledge workers, particularly their science and engineering professionals, are said to be rapidly becoming part of a low-cost global talent pool ‘tapped’ by MNCs (Couto et al. 2006; Levin Institute 2005; OECD 2008c).”
The impact of R&D offshoring on the home knowledge production of OECD investing regions (2012, background): “It is plausible also that there will be no effect on knowledge clusters in advanced countries and regions and that what they offer will continue to be very high value (Doh, 2005; Manning et al., 2008; Lewin et al., 2009).”
Offshoring of R&D: Looking abroad to improve innovation performance (2011, background): “In line with other international business scholars (Kedia & Mukherjee, 2009; Lewin et al., 2009; Mudambi, 2008; UNCTAD, Journal of International Business Studies 2004), we consider two models of governance: through affiliate firms abroad (captive offshoring), and through arm’s length relationships…”
