Abstract

Reshoring – the relocation of insourced or outsourced manufacturing activities back to the home-country – has become a topical issue in the scholarly, management, and policy debate. The political and economic changes in the global chessboard, the decrease in cost advantages of some countries, the growing awareness of the “total cost” of offshoring, and the supply shortages experienced during the covid-19 pandemic have caused many companies to rethink their global supply chain configuration choices. The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the reshoring phenomenon by identifying the main trends, presenting some exemplary cases, discussing motivations and determinants, and explaining the decision-making and implementation processes. This chapter can support managers in global supply chain reconfiguration decisions and policy makers in designing suitable interventions at this respect.
