Manufacturing reshoring: Archetypes development through a systematic literature review

Manufacturing reshoring continues to be a growing topic of interest for researchers. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand to create a complete picture of reshoring decision-making. This paper employs the systematic literature review methodology to combine the research on manufacturing reshoring firms and their decision-making. By analysing 63 papers, this article assesses firm factors, motivations, and decision-making. Descriptions of the reshoring motivations of recent papers highlight current trends in the literature. Next, the relationship between decision-making and business characteristics is discussed. Finally, the identification of four archetypical reshoring firms through cross-case thematic analysis proposes a new framework for understanding reshoring.
