Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide insights into the reshoring phenomenon. Although in the past years much emphasis has been placed on providing guidance on make-or-buy and offshoring strategies, reshoring decisions have not been addressed in a holistic, practical, and structured manner. The framework presented in this paper intends to address this gap by providing a graphical representation of why reshoring decisions are made and showing relevant dimensions to be taken into consideration. Moreover, since public case studies about reshoring are limited and not well-documented, an in-depth case study is included to facilitate an understanding of the drivers of reshoring decisions, and to test the operationalization of the framework.
