Abstract
We answer to the question: How do not-for-profit innovation networks facilitate the reshoring of manufacturing? To answer this question, an in-depth case study of the UK’s HVMC network is used. Data was collected from 35 semi-structured interviews with engineers, legal officers, procurement managers and Chief Technology Officers working in the seven centres that comprise the HVMC network. Dunning’s eclectic paradigm is used to examine whether not-for-profit networks can enhance location attractiveness and positively influence re-location decisions. The findings reveal that not-for-profit networks support pre-reshoring/during-reshoring decisions by enhancing market-seeking and efficiency-seeking advantages and during-reshoring/post-reshoring decisions by resource-seeking and strategic asset-seeking advantages.
