    CALL FOR AIB INSIGHTS ARTICLES FOR CONSIDERATION: RETURNING FROM OFFSHORE -- MANUSCRIPTS DUE 1 OCTOBER 2015 TO ROMIE.LITTRELL@AUT.AC.NZ

    Reading manuscripts and media commentary indicating a turnaround in offshoring due to failures in expected cost savings, I see, for example:
    ·        ..."the role of institutional weaknesses in the host country (China), and the trade-offs that result from alternative governance arrangements for offshored activities."
    ·        "Why it's cheaper to produce some goods in the US South than China"
    o   "In 2004, a good that could be made for a dollar in the US could be manufactured in China for 86.5 cents. One decade later, it would cost 95.6 cents to make in China - not a whole lot of savings."
    ·        "Goodbye China, hello NZ: Why manufacturing is coming home"

    Daniel Rottig and I are seeking manuscripts for issue 4, volume 2015, of AIB INSIGHTS, on the theme discussed above.
    for the editorial policy; citations and references should follow the JIBS specifications.
