Drivers and barriers to reshoring: a literature review on offshoring in reverse (2017, background): “In other words, costs increase as more companies compete for scarce resources including human labor and other factors which are usually not considered as strategic, such as transportation capacity (Tate et al., 2014).”
Bringing it all back home? Backshoring of manufacturing activities and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (2019, background): “The literature explains backshoring in the framework of existing theories of the multinational firm, as a reverse or subsequent decision of a previous offshoring decision (Bals, et al., 2013; Ellram et al., 2013; Gray et al., 2013; Tate, 2014; Foerstl et al., 2016).”
Motivations of manufacturing reshoring: an interpretative framework (2016, unknown): “…Heilala, 2011; Powell, 2011; Simchi-Levi et al., 2012; Johnson et al., 2013; Neil, 2013; Nelson, 2013; Regalado, 2013; Arlbjørn and Mikkelsen, 2014; Tate et al., 2014; Tate, 2014” have not been included in the reference list, please provide complete publication details to include in the…”
From global to local: reshoring for sustainability (2016, background): “…through physical and often cultural distance (Caniato et al. 2013), longer, more complex supply chains, long leadtimes and limited flexibility (Tate et al. 2014); geographical distances increase transportation costs, but also complicate decisions around inventory due to the longer leadtimes…”
Reshoring and insourcing: drivers and future research directions (2016, background): “Moreover, macroeconomic changes like economic growth projections, raw material shortages, and exchange rate fluctuations induce further uncertainty (McArthur and Nystrom, 1991; Lewin et al., 2009; Ellram et al., 2013; Tate et al., 2014).”
Institutional and strategic operations perspectives on manufacturing reshoring (2016, background): “Reshoring drivers related to improved responsiveness, requiring proximity to customer represent 3 of the top 4 factors (Figure 2).”
Offshoring and backshoring: A multiple case study analysis (2017, background): “Later, backshoring was acknowledged as the reversal of a fully rational offshoring decision, motivated by contingencies and changes in the offshore or home country environment, such as the rising total costs of ownership in China, or the lower costs of energy in the West (MartínezMora and Merino, 20”
