Institutional and strategic operations perspectives on manufacturing reshoring (2016, unknown): “(2014) Access to local know-how : Know-how loss (Kinkel 2014; Kinkel 2012) (Continued) 7200 J.”
From global to local: reshoring for sustainability (2016, background): “A key interest of this paper is how a growing emphasis on sustainability performance impacts the reshoring decision, and extends to gaining a better understanding of the strategic imperative of local manufacturing (Kinkel 2014).”
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.”
Reshoring: Myth or Reality? (2016, background): “The data also seem to suggest that backshoring by German companies can be characterised as a short/mid-term correction of a prior location decision, since around 80% of the backshoring cases followed with a 3-5 year lag after the previous offshoring decision (Kinkel, 2014).”
Motivations of manufacturing reshoring: an interpretative framework (2016, unknown): “the host countries involved) (Dachs and Kinkel, 2013), and at pinning down the underlying motivations of companies (e.g. Ellram et al., 2013; Kinkel, 2014).”
Reshoring and insourcing: drivers and future research directions (2016, background): “Studies suggest that 40 percent of managers perceive a trend toward countered reshoring and insourcing activities within five years after the initial decisions (Tate et al., 2014; Kinkel, 2014).”
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.”
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”
Bringing it all back home? Backshoring of manufacturing activities and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (2019, background): “0 technologies, as re-learning of once outsourced competences can be a difficult process and provides only catching-up instead of leading positions (Kinkel, 2014a).”
Reshoring: a strategic renewal of luxury clothing supply chains (2016, background): “Developments in automation and robotics have gradually eroded the comparative advantage enjoyed by low-cost manufacturing countries (Kinkel 2014).”
