What do we want to know about reshoring? A conceptual framework for case study research

This study aims to develop a framework for reshoring case study research, specifying the aspects encompassing a full case description. The meta-synthesis methodology was applied on a sample of 14 articles including 36 cases of offshoring and subsequent reshoring activities. By focusing on findings by the original authors, the study allowed to build a comprehensive framework to lead future case study research, and accumulate knowledge by using a methodology never applied to this field. In doing so, the article contributes to reshoring research. Furthermore, the study generates practical implications, by condensing all the evidences about reshoring in one single study.
