“…As a result, medium-and low-end enterprises are always in a subordinate position. Furthermore, foreign factors create more value due to higher-end elements and stronger capital in terms of promoting the productivity of the manufacturing industry [40]. Therefore, differentiating service elements by the economic attribute of benefit acquisition ability is helpful to analyze and grasp the development characteristics of the service industry tending to "globalization" and "fragmentation", and to clarify and deconstruct the benefit distribution differences in different sources of elements in the global value chain.…”

The current study estimates the impact of manufacturing servitization on industrial productivity from the perspective of global value chain division. For this purpose, from 2000 to 2014, the study uses the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) to measure the servitization level of China’s manufacturing industry based on the non-competitive input–output model. Moreover, it develops a unified framework of source and structural differences in service factors and explores the mechanism and impact of manufacturing servitization on industrial productivity from the perspective of global value chain division. The results showed that if the division status of the manufacturing industry in the global value chain is higher, there will be a higher productivity effect of servitization. Regarding service factor country difference, foreign service factor input positively strengthened the industrial productivity effect, whereas domestic service factor input had no obvious effect on industry productivity. Furthermore, it was found that distribution and transportation services do not play a significant role in promoting industry productivity, whereas modern service factors such as information technology, finance, and business services have significant driving effects on industry productivity. The study suggests optimizing the layout of the industrial chain and improving the servitization of the manufacturing industry.

“…Offshoring is a phenomenon that has been linked to globalization, economic integration, and the openness of countries to international trade [15]. In other words, manufacturing offshore is a technique used by businesses to adapt to changes in the competitive environment and gain new comparative advantages in order to become more competitive [16]. Offshoring can reduce production costs in the short run, but over the long run, it increases the risk of losing control of operations due to distance from the parent company, cultural and legal differences, language barriers that make communication more challenging, and even geopolitical situations that can occasionally impede performance [17].…”

Disruption in Resource-Intensive Supply Chains: Reshoring and Nearshoring as Strategies to Enable Them to Become More Resilient and Sustainable

et al. 2022

Disruption in many supply chains has shown the vulnerability of global supply networks, especially resource-intensive ones, due to the simultaneous effects of pandemics and geopolitical crises. Reshoring and nearshoring strategies are the possible responses of manufacturing companies to disruptions in order to adapt to unforeseen events. The supply chain for the Italian ceramic sector, which is characterized by a high intensity of natural and energy resource consumption and a sourcing system with a high geopolitical risk, is examined in this study. The functional decomposition technique was used to analyze the supply chain; then, three scenarios were developed as potential remedies for the unexpected termination of Ukrainian plastic clay supply. The study also showed that complex issues require multifaceted analysis approaches, which is why a transdisciplinary approach was chosen. In addition, the analysis of the ceramic industry showed that nearshoring and reshoring strategies can reduce supply risk and have a positive impact on the environment. The study also showed how bringing extraction sources closer to factories significantly reduces CO2 emissions to the atmosphere from transportation. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis of the complexity of supply chains in times of disruption, configuring reshoring and nearshoring options through transdisciplinarity.
