Abstract
Manufacturing reshoring is the decision to relocate to the home country production activities earlier offshored (independently of the implemented governance mode, in- vs. out-sourcing). This topic has attracted the attention of practitioners and policy makers; in recent decades the attention of scholars has also grown quite rapidly. Following the suggestions of earlier scholars, this paper adopts an industry-level perspective, focusing its attention on the fashion industry, since its characteristics may heavily influence the manufacturing reshoring decisions. This article aims to present and discuss the results of a systematic literature review on relocation decisions implemented by fashion companies. More specifically the authors analysed 17 articles indexed on Elsevier Scopus and published up to December 2018. Based on collected evidence, a comparison with findings that emerged in previous reviews regarding the whole reshoring extant literature is performed, and the specificities of the fashion industry are shown and discussed. Avenues for further research for this specific industry are then presented and discussed.
期刊介绍：
There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
