INSIGHTS ARTICLES FOR CONSIDERATION: RETURNING FROM OFFSHORE -- MANUSCRIPTS DUE 1 OCTOBER 2015 TO [log in to unmask]
Reading
manuscripts and media commentary indicating a turnaround in offshoring due to
failures in expected cost savings, I see, for example:
·
…“the
role of institutional weaknesses in the host country (China), and the trade-offs
that result from alternative governance arrangements for offshored activities.”
·
“Why
it's cheaper to produce some goods in the US South than China”
o “In 2004, a good that could be made for a dollar in the US could be
manufactured in China for 86.5 cents. One decade later, it would cost 95.6
cents to make in China - not a whole lot of savings.”
·
“Goodbye China, hello NZ:
Why manufacturing is coming home”
Daniel Rottig and I are seeking manuscripts for issue 4, volume 2015, of AIB INSIGHTS, on the theme discussed above.
for the editorial policy; citations and references should follow the JIBS specifications.
