Abstract: Following the increasing globalization of value chains, offshoring is gaining importance for firms' competitiveness. Strategy, management, and organizational scholars have analyzed this phenomenon from different theoretical lenses and with a variety of methodological approaches. However, literature lacks a framework within which to analyze firms' offshoring strategies and processes. This paper proposes an interpretative framework to understand extant literature as well as to identify possible gaps to be fulfilled with future research. The identified categories of the proposed interpretative framework are: antecedents, processes, and outcomes. We use case-based evidence to populate the framework and to highlight implications for innovation management.
