Abstract
Using the lens of onshoring versus offshoring, this chapter draws on interviews with executive at large firms with substantial manufacturing presence in the US, finding that interviewees cited a number of reasons for locating production offshore. In addition, the author develops an analytic model of the total cost of a product and how various product characteristics might affect that cost. The model identifies innovativeness as a factor that supports onshoring as well as pointing out that product variety itself is a form of innovation. Three major factors foster onshoring: innovation in products and processes, a low ratio of value to weight, and a high variety of products.
