越来越多关于回流的文献关注的是为什么企业会改变之前的选址决定。虽然这项工作很有价值，但需要扩展到如何做出回岸的决策。采用两阶段的方法，本文提出了一个概念框架，涵盖了公司回流的原因和方式。该框架还利用权变理论来确定影响这些决策的因素。因此，它被认为比文献中发现的其他框架更全面。首先，通过系统的文献回顾，推导出一个初步的框架。其次，该框架的修订版本是使用的证据，从单一的，典型的案例，在纺织行业的俘虏回流。案例证据确定了新的因素，并扩展了文献中提出的回流决策类型，以更准确地反映在岸-离岸-在岸位置和所有权决策的动态性、复杂性和增量性。
Much of the growing body of reshoring literature has focused on why firms reverse a prior location decision. While valuable, this work needs extending to how the decision to reshore is operationalised. Using a two-stage approach, this paper presents a conceptual framework that covers both why and how firms reshore. The framework also utilises contingency theory to identify the factors that influence these decisions. It is therefore claimed to be more comprehensive than others frameworks found in the literature. First, a systematic literature review deductively develops an initial framework. Second, a revised version of the framework is presented using evidence from a single, exemplar case of captive reshoring in the textiles industry. The case evidence identifies new factors and extends a typology of reshoring decisions proposed in the literature to more accurately reflect the dynamic, complex, and incremental nature of the onshore-offshore-reshore location and ownership decision.
