选址决策对于制造工厂至关重要。虽然当前的研究主要强调选址决策的成本考虑，但本研究侧重于更全面的决策过程。在分析离岸和回流的动机的基础上，我们提出了一个有助于企业“右岸”的决策框架。通过航空业（一个以其技术复杂性和创新性而闻名的行业）的多个案例研究方法，我们将根据文献验证和扩大我们的初步决策框架。在分析这一框架时，我们发现航空业离岸外包的主要动机远不仅限于削减成本。更具体地说，该行业的公司愿意在新兴国家发展可持续的商业伙伴关系，以从新的产能和资源中受益。同样，回流决策也是基于长期观点并经过仔细权衡。在为离岸和再外包决策提供全面框架的同时，我们的框架使公司能够做出更明智的决策，为工厂选择正确的地点。
Location decisions are crucial for manufacturing plants. While current research mainly stresses the cost considerations of location decisions, this research focusses on a more comprehensive decision-making process. Based on analyzing the motivations for off-and re-shoring, we present a decision-making framework which will help companies to 'right-shore'. Through a multiple case study approach in the aeronautics industry, an industry known for its technical complexity and innovative nature, we will validate and broaden our initial decision-making framework based on literature. While analyzing this framework, it became apparent that the main motivation for offshoring in the aeronautic industry is far from being restricted to cost-cutting considerations. More specific, companies in this industry are willing to develop sustainable commercial partnerships in emerging countries to benefit from new capacities and resources. In the same vein, re-shoring decisions are grounded on long-term perspectives and are carefully balanced. While providing a comprehensive framework for offshoring and re-shoring decisions, our framework enables companies to make better informed decisions for choosing the right location for their plants.
