“…If one takes for example the analysis of Gleich et al (2017), and applies that to the standard theory of the MNE, then one inference is that while offshoring is an internalisation solution to greater competition, one has to consider the strategy and structure of the firm. Where a firm engages in offshoring, this conceivably may free up resources, for example leading to greater investment in firm specific assets, and potentially even greater employment at home.…”

“…Some services require customer involvement, so facilitating it in real time and across distances is an immediate challenge for offshoring. Service quality is also an important concern, so when services are complex and vaguely defined, their processes cannot be standardized, as they require complicated judgements involving implicit knowledge, with steps in the process being reciprocal, making offshoring more challenging (Gleich et al, 2017;Stringfellow et al, 2008).…”

“…There are several motivations to enter the international market, many studies are identified. The Government tariffs policy of import [6], opportunities to export product or services [7], the organization may wish to counterattack the competitors in their home markets [8].
