Abstract:

After decades of globalization and outsourcing the idea of “bringing manufacturing back home” and the twin concepts of backshoring and nearshoring have received much attention in recent years. Recent positive stories from the Finnish manufacturing industry suggests Finland as an attractive target for nearshoring, yet little to none has hitherto been made of this connection. This article (i.) examines recent relocation literature with a focus on nearshoring and manufacturing in high-cost environments, (ii.) explores the location advantage of Finland, (iii.) analyses cases of recent manufacturing developments in Finland within this context as single incidents or signals of change, and (iv.) discusses this development within the perspective of Industry 4.0.

Abstract:

La COVID-19 es una pandemia devastadora. El vehículo para su propagación ha sido la misma red de transportes necesaria para la globalización. El objeto de este trabajo es determinar hasta qué punto la presente situación puede provocar una alteración de las cadenas logísticas de valor entre China y la UE, que a su vez implique un aumento de las asimetrías entre ambas partes. Analizaremos si triunfará el offshoring, el reshoring o el nearshoring. Para ello, realizaremos un análisis de ambos actores internacionales y de sus respectivas reacciones a la pandemia, tanto desde el punto de vista idiosincrático, como económico y administrativo.

Abstract:

This article examines the American manufacturer’s outsourcing strategy to bring production closer to home. According to a survey by the international accountant firm Grant Thornton, 20% of US respondents brought sourcing closer to home in 2010, and 28% did so in 2009. The survey results show that between 1980 and 2007, China’s share of value added in global manufacturing rose from 2% to 14 %, while the United States generally held steady from its 1980s level of 22%. Nearshoring is not the same as bringing work back to the United States. Yet nearshored plants are easier to manage because they are close and share the same time zones as the United States. This makes it far easier for US managers, researchers, and engineers to interact with plants, so those functions stay in the United States. The United States retains a reputation for quality, and exports are likely to grow if the dollar remains weak.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing risks and disruptions in most supply chains. As supply chain managers are responding to these risks, several theories may inform those efforts. In this paper, we explore across seven companies in different industries, supply chain positions and countries, how lessons from total costs of ownership, supplier segmentation and supply chain change management theory may apply to efforts to respond to COVID-19 supply chain risks and disruptions. The findings indicate that the pandemic forces companies to consider total costs more holistically, beyond the purchase price, and that collaboration with suppliers and developing new sources of supply is of growing importance to reduce risk in the supply chain. However, the change involved in responding to risks will take time, and for many companies, the hardest work is still ahead. Our findings also paint a more nuanced and complex picture than offered in the popular press; the focus on nearshoring does not necessarily mean leaving China and the switch in total costs of ownership may only be partial and temporal. Limitations of the theories considered are identified and resulting suggestions for managers and further research are developed.

Abstract:

The paper discusses how the second global shift in business services provision and corporate restructuring open up new offshoring opportunities into Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It explores three issues: First, it builds upon the theoretical framework of the ‘new paradigm of globalization, which considers offshoring as one of the most important globalizing forces of recent time. This results in a shift in global trade, namely from ‘trade in goods’ to ‘trade in tasks’ determined by the changing trends in the division of labour. Second, the paper gives an overview of services relocation into CEE in comparison with its Asian counterparts. As the EU expanded eastwards, the opportunities for European corporations to offshore their business services to these ‘nearshore’ locations increased. Building on the region’s nearshoring advantages such as geographical-cultural proximity and on their multilingual graduate sup ply, CEE is likely to utilise more value added quality-driven BPO and KPO services. Third, the paper examines the implications of offshoring for the home markets in CEE assessing its impact on their locations. It reveals the role of offshoring activities in the metropolitan transformation and discusses the factors that make the capital cities an increasingly attractive option for companies to relocate their services. Despite CEE has taken advantage on the trend supported by the global service delivery models reducing dependency on any single location, its further growth may be influenced by the worsening macro-conditions, and future prospect of the region depends largely on government incentives and on the success of exploiting talent pools offered by its provincial cities.

Abstract:

The digital revolution and extended use of modern digital technologies define the intensification of formation processes and further development of industrial ecosystems as stable geographically established networks of interconnected diverse enterprises and institutions, that are based on certain manufacturing technologies. At the same time, the location of industrial ecosystems is changed, which manifests itself in contradictory processes of reshoring and nearshoring, deepening their specialization, as the result of which in various regions of the world existing industrial ecosystems are transforming and new ones with different environmental influence are forming. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to educe current peculiarities of their evolution in terms of digitalization in the context of sustainable development. Every industrial ecosystem is unique, but it also has some certain similarities with other ecosystems, giving objective reasons for distinguishing their characteristic types. This study carries out the grouping of national economies (68 countries) by the size of industrial ecosystems (value added), their labor intensiveness, knowledge intensiveness and environmental friendliness (CO2 emissions). According to results of the cluster analysis, it is found that the absolute leadership by qualitative characteristics, primarily in terms of labor productivity and R&D costs, belongs to industrial ecosystems of advanced countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific region and the United States. With regard to Ukraine, its industrial ecosystem is classified to the cluster of countries that are "catching up" and characterized by worse indicators, including in the framework of sustainable development. To assess the environmental friendliness of industrial ecosystems, it is suggested to use the indicator of a normalized area of an ecological footprint that characterizes its size, which accrues to consumption of 1 ton of coal. Calculations of this indicator show that the increase of world coal consumption in recent decades is followed by a decrease of a normalized area of the ecological footprint as a result of progress in the development of "clean" manufacturing technologies and consumption of this energy source. However, the situation is different in various clusters of industrial ecosystems. With the difference of volume of GDP per capita, the normalized ecological footprint of developing countries is almost 3 times higher than in advanced ones. Namely, the life support in industrial ecosystems of developing countries (including Ukraine) per 1 dollar of income is associated with a significantly higher normalized ecological footprint. The Ukrainian national industrial ecosystem is currently characterized by the low technical and technological level of production and high normalized coal consumption with corresponding negative consequences for the environment. To ensure its transition to a sustainable development trajectory, it is necessary to create institutions that would stimulate a cyclical model of industrial behavior at the state level, as well as the development and dissemination of new digital technologies in industrial production and energy sector that can reduce the ecological footprint.

Abstract:

Der globale Logistikmarkt steht dynamischen Veränderungen gegenüber: Die COVID-19-Pandemie, die für eine wochenlange Unterbrechung der Produktion und damit auch der Lieferketten sorgte, stellt die Widerstandsfähigkeit bestehender Prozesse weltweit auf den Prüfstand. Das befördert den Trend zurück zu regionalen Versorgungsketten beziehungsweise „nearshoring“, der Verlagerung in günstige Nachbarländer. Mithilfe des Savills Nearshoring Indexes hat der Immobiliendienstleister die Logistikmärkte weltweit untersucht und Länder mit hohem Potenzial identifiziert, die von der neuen Dynamik am Markt profitieren könnten.

Full text

Abstract:

This article analyses indirect FDI, denoting investment projects, in which the ultimate owner is different from the immediate investor. Reasons for the existence of this type of investment projects can be mostly corporate strategies and tax considerations. The development impact of indirect FDI is not necessarily negative; however it varies by the key types of indirect FDI (delegation of power to regional headquarters, nearshoring, concealed investment, and round tripping). It also depends on how the project money is transhipped: through an affiliate abroad, or through a special purpose entity. Government polices may influence largely the extent and development impact of indirect FDI, especially through tax policies. The phenomenon deserves more attention in the future, as currently indirect FDI is an under-researched topic.

Abstract:

Factors influencing investment strategies of multinational enterprises are identified, particularly factors of COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical stability, and national security. It is revealed that COVID-19 pandemic forces multinational enterprises to transform approaches to investment strategies towards stabilization and diversification of supply chains, robotization of production. It is determined that due to the need to comply with safe working conditions, investment in robotics development become an integral part of investment strategies. It has been determined that the offshoring strategy in the conditions of sustainability of trade and production relations has proved its effectiveness in reducing costs. However, during pandemic or trade war, the offshore strategy is less effective. Prospects of future development of investment strategies are determined, namely reshoring, diversification, regionalization, and replication. It is determined that due to the increase in the level of risks; new investment projects “from scratch” become less attractive. It is determined that multinational enterprises do not want to move production capacities, as it requires significant investments and losses from the relocation of production. It is revealed that geopolitical conflicts may transform investment strategies, stimulating relocation of production, such as reshoring and nearshoring. It has been determined that reshoring and nearshoring do not necessarily increase the stability of supply chains. It is determined that the import of industrial products from China to the USA is declining for several years in a row, and there is a shift of production from China to other countries. It is determined that the strategy of reindustrialization do not necessarily contribute to the growth of industrial production in the United States. It is determined that within the USA there are several problems concerning reindustrialization, including low return on investment in robotization of production and lack of qualified personnel. It is determined that the factor of national security becomes more important for the investment strategies of multinational enterprises in the conditions of unfolding economic contradictions.

Abstract:

The article looks into key challenges for Ukrainian economy caused by foreign trade intensification with China in 2020 when Ukraine’s exports to PRC increased by 98 per cent. The dynamics and main structural shifts in the UA-CN trade are analyzed. The structure of bilateral trade flows between the parties by degree of processing and value added is explored. It is revealed that Ukraine’s exports to China consists predominantly from raw materials and products of primary processing: mineral products (iron ore), cereals (maize), sunflower oil and its residues, ferrous metals, etc. The imports from China to Ukraine consists mainly from electrical machinery, mechanical appliances, articles of apparel, chemical products, iron and steel, etc. Comparative analysis of the commodity structure of Ukraine’s exports to PRC and to the EU is conducted. The analysis shows that, despite dominance of traditional and low value added goods in Ukrainian overall exports, the share of sophisticated manufactured goods in exports to the EU is much larger than in exports to China. It is substantiated that trade with China largely determines the raw material orientation of Ukraine's international specialization, while exports to developed countries are characterized by a relatively higher share of intermediate and consumer goods. To increase the efficiency of Ukraine’s foreign trade, it is considered that the best option is to focus on reducing dependence on imports from China by developing domestic production of appropriate consumer goods and increasing export flows to developed countries. The expediency of Ukraine's refusal to participate in the New Silk Road project is argued in favor of using the benefits of nearshoring strategy, which opens the opportunity to replace Chinese consumer goods in the EU market with Ukrainian ones under the EU-UA association agreement. The article briefly surveys some cases of successful implementation of this strategy by Ukrainian business, in particular the launch of exports of household appliances (electro-thermic coffee and tea makers, electric razors, washing machines, electric heaters) to the EU.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has been recognized as a trigger for redefining supply chains at the global level, and has created an intense debate within the academic community and among policy-makers and practitioners. Among other industries, health care has been dramatically hit by the scarcity of “medical products,” specifically for personal protective equipment (PPE-like), due to supply chain disruptions coupled with dramatically increased demand. We aimed to analyze how the scarcity of PPE-like during the COVID-19 pandemic has modified the behavior of decision-makers in the PPE-like supply chain at the hospital level, and to explore what changes could be implemented to cope with future PPE-like shortages. Methods We used an explorative approach based on semi-structured interviews with key informants in the Spanish health care industry. More specifically, we held interviews to industry experts at three hospitals in three Spanish regions to map the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic onto the buying decision-making process. Results Different strategies were developed by decision-makers at hospitals before, during, and after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. Our paper offers two main findings: a) decision-makers changed their purchasing behavior from a cost main driver to guaranteeing the availability of supplies; b) they supported the idea of giving more “strategic autonomy” to Spain or Europe through back and nearshoring decisions. Conclusions This paper could be of interest to health care management at the national, regional, and hospital levels, as well as for policy-makers, since it could help to establish and configure policies to support the sourcing of medical products (specifically PPE-like) to anticipate potential supply disruptions. Our paper contributes to the limited existing literature on how purchasing strategies at the decision-maker level and supply vary in the health care industry when a public health crisis appears, and what potential solutions might be for policy-makers and practitioners involved in the health care industry.
