Abstract: The aim of paper is to define the reshoring process, its dynamic and form. The purpose is also to point out the results of this phenomenon, in particular involved impact on employment. Hence, the first part of this paper defines reshoring and enumerates its forms. The consequences of reshoring, on the other hand, are discussed in the second part of this paper and are based on the case study database of The Reshoring Initiative. The cases discussed concern two companies that have decided to offshore their manufacturing to low-cost locations (mainly China) and then to reshore it their home country. Finally, the paper ends with conclusions which are referred to the analysed companies.
