摘要

本研究从国际化进程理论和效应理论的角度,探讨了中小型企业(SMEs)如何实施离岸外包。本研究采用定性多案例研究的方法,涉及六家从中国迁回本国的中小企业。分析揭示了中小企业在返回母国时所感受到的不确定性,以及中小企业如何动态管理其国内承诺和关系网络。研究还揭示了中小型企业在离岸外包过程的不同阶段所采用的不同替代方法,以及这些举措所产生的结果。值得注意的是,这项研究表明,文献中常用来解释国际化的概念框架可以有效地扩展到背 靠外包领域。中小型企业能否成功地实行背靠背经营,取决于它们能否准确地认识到国内的不确定性,并能动地利用规划和实施战略。反之,背靠背举措的失败可以追溯到中小型企业对其在国内商业网络中的地位的错误认识,这种认识上的偏差可能导致次优的决策和结果。

An Entrepreneurial Lens on Backshoring Implementation by SMEs

Using the lenses of internationalization process theory and of effectuation theory, this study investigates how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) implement backshoring initiatives. A qualitative multiple case study is developed involving six SMEs that have relocated from China back to their respective home countries. The analysis illuminates SMEs’ perspectives on the uncertainty perceived when returning to the home country and on how SMEs dynamically manage their domestic commitment and network of relations. The study also sheds light on the different alternative approaches they employ during different phases of the backshoring process and on the outcomes of these initiatives. Notably, the study demonstrates that the conceptual frameworks commonly employed in the literature to explain internationalization can effectively be extended to the domain of backshoring. Successful backshoring for SMEs hinges on their accurate perception of domestic uncertainty and their dynamic utilization of both planning and effectuation implementation strategies. Conversely, the failure of backshoring initiatives can be traced back to SMEs’ misperception of their position within the domestic business network, a cognitive bias that can lead to suboptimal decisions and outcomes.
