Supply Chain Management and Offshoring in the US

According to Dessler (2015), offshoring means having outside vendors or employees abroad supply services that the company's own employees previously did in-house. Besides the definition of Supply Chain Management, Mooney (2019) also emphasized the importance of supply chain management. The performance of the services or jobs being offshored contributes to the offshoring or local company's operations and provision of value to their customers through the supply of goods and services to them. [...]offshoring impacts the supply chain by contributing to the provision of value to the offshoring or local company's customers through their purchases of goods and subscriptions to services. [...]reasons are reduced costs, the provision of better products and services to foreign markets, the growth of the market in emerging countries, government policies and incentives to engage in offshoring, technological changes and social norms, and shifts in employment relations and norms.
