Tiivistelmä
The thesis work studied the effects backshoring has on innovation. The thesis explained the phenomena of backshoring and innovation, critically examined its drivers and barriers, and determined whether there is a link between backshoring and innovation. Another objective of the thesis was to conduct empirical research using four semi-structured interviews to derive which effects or changes the reshoring process had on an organization’s innovation. The businesses were selected according to their home country, industry, and knowledge with location choices such as backshoring. Based on similar themes, the obtained data was summarized, examined, and evaluated.
After studying a large quantity of sources regarding the thesis’ topic, the effects backshoring has on innovation became a lot clearer. In total eight effects were analyzed, as shown in Table 6. This thesis and framework allow companies to see which benefit a reshoring decision could have.
