SWOT Analysis of Companies’ Transferring Their Manufacturing Offshore

Recently, thousands of companies have chosen to relocate their business processes from their home country to another country. The relocation process is usually called offshoring. Offshoring has made many controversial debates among economists. Discussing the effects of it has been the focus of a large number of research papers. By using SWOT analysis, this paper investigates the influence of offshoring on both sides of the home country and the developing countries, which are usually the relocated countries. From the analysis, it is found that the effects of offshoring cannot just be defined as good or bad. The impacts are two-sided for both developed countries which are usually the home countries of the relocation business and developing countries, which are usually the destination countries for the manufacturing transfer. Implications were drawn from the results concerning both sides of offshoring, not just home countries or developing countries.
