本文揭示了美国和欧洲企业在回流之前制造业离岸经验持续时间的决定因素。通过对249个离岸经验的数据集进行生存分析，我们估计了不同群体的生存决定因素的影响。结果强调，背景因素，如行业，母国，东道国和企业的规模显着影响离岸经验的持续时间。事实上，对于电子和汽车行业、小公司、总部设在欧洲的公司以及向亚洲离岸的公司来说，终止的可能性更高。对回流动机的分析表明，离岸经历的质量问题成为缩短离岸停留时间的关键因素。基于这些实证研究结果，一组可检验的命题。特别是，我们推测，终止离岸制造和返回母国的可能性可能会加速技术为基础的行业，小企业规模，缩小成本差异和母国和东道国之间的心理距离，组织原型，质量相关的动机。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
This paper throws light on the determinants of the duration of manufacturing offshore experiences by US and European firms prior to reshoring. By applying survival analysis to a dataset of 249 offshoring experiences terminated with a relocation to the home country/region, we estimate the effects of different groups of survival determinants. Results highlight that contextual factors such as the industry, the home country, the host country, and the size of the firm significantly affect the duration of offshoring experiences. The likelihood of termination is in fact higher for the electronics and automotive industries, for small firms, for firms headquartered in Europe, and for offshoring to Asia. The analysis of the motivations for reshoring shows that quality issues experienced offshore emerge as the key factor giving rise to shorter offshore stays. Based on these empirical findings, a set of testable propositions is developed. In particular, we conjecture that the likelihood of termination of offshore manufacturing and the return to the home country may be accelerated by technology-based industries, small firm sizes, shrinking cost differentials and the psychic distance between home and host country, the organizational archetypes, and quality related motivations.
