“…6 This evidence is, on the one hand, similar to the results of the recent analysis by Cutrini (2011) on an Italian footwear district, where a similar delocalization pattern was found during the 1990s. On the other hand, it implies different impacts of globalization and recessions on the districts' internationalization strategies.…”

Globalization and the recent recession crisis are significantly challenging Italian industrial districts (IDs), leading to deep transformations in their internationalization, innovation and organization strategies. With our empirical focus on a single industry (gold jewellery) and a specific country (Italy) and through the theoretical lenses of the global value chain (GVC) approach, the evidence in this article sheds light on the differences in how three IDs within Italy's gold jewellery sector (Valenza Po, Arezzo and Vicenza) compete in the global arena. Our comparative analysis reveals striking differences among these districts with regard to their upstream and downstream internationalization strategies in response to two industry shocks: increasing global competition in the early 2000s and the world economic recession of 2008-2009. Our explanation for the varied gold jewellery district responses to these two global crises involves both internal and external factors: (1) structural differences between the three IDs; (2) distinct business strategies; and (3) how these districts are linked to the gold jewellery GVC.

“…Using this datasource, Kinkel and Maloca (2009), and Kinkel and Zanker (2013), concluded that around 2.5% of all German manufacturing firms have performed reshoring activities. Cutrini (2011) analyses the evolution of footwear districts in Italy and reveals that some cases of reshoring are appearing too. Uni-CLUB MoRe is collecting evidence from different sources with close to 300 cases detected (see Fratocchi et al, 2011).…”

“…El nuevo panorama supuso que aquellas empresas que fabricaban calzado de gama media deslocalizaron todo su proceso productivo mientras que aquellas cuya única línea de producto era de alta gama, y no introdujeron otras nuevas, mantuvieron la fabricación en España. Esta situación es semejante a la que se ha producido en este sector productivo en Italia (Amighini y Rabellotti, 2010) aunque en este país el proceso de deslocalización tuvo una fase importante en la que algunos países del Este de Europa acogieron distintas fases de la producción antes de acabar en países del sudeste asiático (Cutrini, 2011).…”

Este trabajo analiza los procesos de retorno al país de origen de algunas de las fases del proceso productivo que previamente se habían deslocalizado a países extranjeros en el sector del calzado. La metodología empleada consiste en un estudio de casos a empresas del sector. Los resultados del estudio revelan que la estrategia de relocalización responde a los cambios en el entorno de las empresas derivados de la reciente crisis económica y que no estaban presentes cuando se adoptaron las decisiones de deslocalización. En el nuevo contexto, la reducción de los plazos de entrega y los aumentos de flexibilidad en la distribución se revelan como las principales razones que motivan el aumento de producción nacional y la disminución en el extranjero.
