The Black Book of Reshoring

How to conduct business profitably in the new era of reshoring and economic nationalism

First published in 2005, The Black Book of Outsourcing quickly became a definitive guide for businesses navigating the complexities of offshore outsourcing, offering strategies and insights that shaped corporate decision-making during the height of globalization. Now, 20 years later, the world has changed dramatically. The Black Book of Reshoring: The Essential Guide to America's New Manufacturing Boom delivers key insights into how the global economic landscape has shifted, showing how the once-unquestioned dominance of offshore outsourcing has given way to a new era of reshoring and economic nationalism. This book includes information on tariffs, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have exposed the flaws in globalization’s model, leading to a reversal in course as businesses and governments prioritize domestic production, resilience, and sovereignty.

This book offers:

• Practical frameworks and strategies for businesses considering reshoring, including insights on technology, workforce development, and supply chain resilience
• Case studies from leading companies like Tesla, GE, and Pfizer, illustrating the challenges and opportunities of reshoring in industries such as semiconductors, EVs, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods
• A forward-looking perspective on the future of trade, globalization, and economic sovereignty

The Black Book of Reshoring is an essential read for all business professionals seeking up-to-date information on trends, strategies, economic impacts, and best practices in reshoring and homeshoring.
