Abstract

After several decades of offshoring, reshoring is becoming an emergent strategy in many countries and industries. Both governments compel firms to reshore their production to their home countries as firms find, in some cases, that it is more profitable for them to do so. However, neither the reviews of the firm's current behavior nor the existing models for deciding on reshoring include the impact that reshoring has on the communities that host the offshored activities. This paper discusses the impact of reshoring on host communities, emphasizing that it differs from never having hosted offshored activities. It is necessary for firms to be aware of their responsibilities towards the stakeholders they created when they offshored their production. The review of some humanistic management approaches to assess offshoring can inspire how to incorporate this consideration into the reshoring decision‐making process and its implementation.
