With respect to the increasing trend of companies reversing or modifying previous offshoring decisions, research on manufacturing relocation has gained momentum over the past decade. However, despite increasing efforts in this field, the general understanding of relocation still lacks maturity, with numerous conflicting results and arguments from a variety of industrial and regional contexts that are yet to be consolidated. This study uses a systematic literature review method to address this lack of consolidation, contributing to academia in three ways. First, this paper presents a novel decisional framework that involves all of the relevant aspects of a relocation decision based on 158 reviewed papers, laying a solid foundation for theoretical, conceptual and empirical development. Second, it consolidates and disambiguates all of the relevant terminologies used in relocation debates, providing proper logical clarification. Third, we identify 25 gaps in the research across all decisional aspects and propose three integrated research avenues that are critical to the accumulation of knowledge.

制造业迁移的决策框架：巩固和扩大回流辩论

鉴于公司扭转或修改以前的离岸外包决策的趋势不断增加，对制造搬迁的研究在过去十年中取得了势头。然而，尽管这一领域的努力不断增加，但对搬迁的普遍认识仍然不够成熟，来自不同行业和地区背景的大量相互矛盾的结果和论点尚未得到巩固。本研究采用系统的文献综述方法来解决缺乏整合的问题，从三个方面为学术界做出贡献。首先，本文基于 158 篇综述论文提出了一个新颖的决策框架，涉及搬迁决策的所有相关方面，为理论、概念和实证发展奠定了坚实的基础。其次，它巩固并消除了搬迁辩论中使用的所有相关术语的歧义，提供了适当的逻辑澄清。第三，我们确定了所有决策方面的 25 个研究空白，并提出了对知识积累至关重要的三种综合研究途径。
