Transformative Power Relationships For Supply Chain Reshoring in the Public Sector

The presentation will also present broader findings captured from two international contexts in relation to supply chain reshoring namely in Japan and Spain:

 Spanish/Basque Context 

· Policy can be both an inhibitor and an accelerator of reshoring 

· Cutting-edge technology has a limited impact on reshoring 

· Reshoring is unduly influenced by the bias of the Chinese economy 

· The private sector is the driving force behind reshoring 

Japanese Context 

· Government funding creates an imbalance and a reliance on grants 

· Government funding for reshoring is helping to revitalise sector-specific manufacturing 

· Reshoring is being used to drive specialisation and influence geo-political power
