Abstract

Interest in back-reshoring strategies - intended as companies' decisions to reverse previous off-shoring by bringing manufacturing back home - has gained momentum recently. However, little is known so far about the magnitude of this phenomenon, about its geographical boundaries, and about the underlying motivations.In this paper a characterization of back-shoring as part of the dynamics of firms' internationalization strategies is offered. Next, building on emerging empirical evidence, open questions are identified and an agenda for research is proposed.
