“…Policy is driven by the "market failure" argument, according to which firms' benefits from BS fall short of those accruing to society (Grossman et al, 2021). Policy tools have ranged from advisory support (such as the former Manufacturing Advisory System in the United Kingdom) (Moradlou et al, 2020), to total cost of ownership calculators (Gray et al, 2017), to incentives for investment in new technologies (Barbieri et al, 2022;Pegoraro et al, 2022). To date, there is still high uncertainty concerning the success of each of these forms of support.…”

PurposeThe study investigates the profitability of manufacturing firms backshoring (BS) to Europe. In particular, the article analyses the relation between BS drivers and post-relocation profitability and tests whether this relation is moderated by innovation policies that firms adopt in conjunction with BS.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical model links the post-relocation profitability to BS drivers, firms’ involvement in product innovation and/or adoption of new manufacturing technologies. Data concerning BS initiatives to Europe between 2012 and 2018 extracted from secondary sources have been matched to firms’ balance sheet data.FindingsResults show that responsiveness-driven BS is associated with higher profitability when the relocation is coupled with product innovation. A second key finding is that the adoption of new manufacturing technologies has a positive impact on post-BS profitability.Research limitations/implicationsThe restriction of the dataset to firms for which information on post- and pre-BS financial performance was available has led to a small sample size. Availability of longer time series of profitability data will allow estimating long-term impact, especially for innovation.Practical implicationsThe study provides first evidence on the impact of BS on financial performance and throws light on the relevance of innovation as a lever supporting manufacturing relocation to high-cost countries.Originality/valueThe study advances empirical research on BS by offering evidence of its impact on profitability and by linking it to previous research on BS drivers. Further, the study throws light on the role of different drivers as “success factors” of BS and on how they interact with innovation efforts. The study also offers insights to business leaders who are evaluating the potential benefits on company profitability of a return to a high cost-environment and provides useful indications on the conditions under which BS pays off.

“…V budoucnu proto pravděpodobně dojde spíše k postupné modifikaci stávajícího modelu výroby než k jeho nahrazení modelem jiným. Vynikající případovou studii, která ukazuje, jak komplikovaný je přesun výroby (re-shoring/backshoring) z Číny do Evropy, po kterém mnozí komentátoři a politici plédují, představuje práce Pegoraro, De Propis, Chidlow (2021). Výzkumný rámec představovaný teoriemi globálních hodnotových řetězců a globálních produkčních sítí si tak zachová svou relevanci minimálně v dohledné budoucnosti, přičemž lze v souvislosti s nutností reagovat na velké společenské výzvy (geopolitická nestabilita, klimatická změna, cirkulární ekonomika apod.)…”

In the paper, we employ a global value chain / global production network framework to examine value creation and especially value capture by various types of companies. The analysis is based on economic performance indicators from the 300 largest companies in Czechia based on turnover from 2014 to 2019. However, the hypothesized pattern of value capture was not confirmed in the case of foreign-owned companies. This finding suggests that an important role is played by the mandates multinationals assign to their national branches. The analysis also showed that companies operating in the service sector, broadly conceived, tend to capture less value than manufacturing firms. Finally, companies in both the manufacturing and service sector with access to the end market tend to capture greater value than companies without such access. Overall, our empirical analysis of value captured demonstrates that the assumption of a straightforward relationship between company position within a global value chain or global production network and value capture can be overly simplistic.

“…La letteratura recente ha analizzato il fenomeno del reshoring evidenziandone i tratti essenziali e le spinte che possono condurre a questo tipo di scelta strategica (Di Mauro et al, 2018;Foerstl et al, 2016;Pegoraro et al, 2022). Gli approcci teorici attingono principalmente a: 1) la teoria dell'internazionalizzazione, associando il fenomeno in oggetto alle tendenze economiche globali (Di Mauro et al, 2018), 2) la teoria dei costi di transazione, collegando le decisioni di reshoring e più in generale di localizzazione delle attività produttive al contenimento di questa tipologia di costi (Foerstl et al, 2016), 3) la letteratura sul supply chain management quando afferma che fattori legati al contesto locale possono spingere l'impresa verso decisioni di reshoring (Pegoraro et al, 2022).…”

The resource-based view (RBV) has been one of the most cited streams of research in the management literature. This theory has been one of the few theories completely developed within the management disciplines. Since the initial pioneering research in the 80s and 90s, the study of knowledge-and trust-based resources has interested many theoretical and empirical works concerning many issues: company strategies, mergers and acquisitions, alliances and partnerships, organization and HR, innovation, marketing, consumer behavior, channel relationships, entrepreneurship, internationalization, and more. Today the post-pandemic world presents new challenges for managers, organizations, and researchers on which a deeper understanding of knowledge-and trust-based resources can help and shed a new light.Sustainability and a fast digital transformation are nowadays considered key goals for many companies, managers, public organizations, and governments under the umbrella of EU Next Generation Recovery Plan. The real challenge now is to enhance and leverage the intangible resources heritage -namely knowledge and trust -to get a more sustainable, inclusive and digital world and, as a consequence, for building a better society. In this perspective, also the long-term goals of the firm and its finalism have to be totally re-shaped.Sinergie Italian Journal of Management dedicated a special issue to this topic more than 20 years ago and many scholars have studied and deepened this multi-faced topic with original approaches in our community.
