  • Exploring determinants of international sourcing [Elektronski vir] : captive offshoring vs. offshore outsourcing
    Burger, Anže, 1979- ; Jaklič, Andreja ; Ćirjaković, Jelena
    The growing significance of international sourcing has been well documented and has spurred the emergence of extensive body of theoretical literature analyzing the organization of firms' activities ... on a global scale. Recent literature on integration strategies and global production sharing combines elements from international trade and industrial organization with the theory of the firm in order to explain endogenously the variety of organizational forms. Using the propositions of transaction costs and internalization, firm-specific advantages and location advantages, we examine the role of different factors as a determinant of the fragmentation strategy of Slovene firms. We evaluate how firm-level, industry-level and country-level characteristics influence the choice of sourcing mode (domestic sourcing, offshore outsourcing and captive offshoring) on recently conducted Eurostat survey. We study the fragmentation strategies by applying discrete choice models, like probit and nested logit models. On the firm level, we mainly focus on firm heterogeneity as a determinant of the offshoring strategy (testing determinants like firm productivity, size, capital intensity, financial dependence, ownership status and the type of business function). At the industry level, our aim is to examine the role of product characteristics and industrial structure on the choice of offshoring strategy (testing product complexity, technological intensity, headquarter intensity, and the presence of scale economies). We also emphasize the role of country characteristics, such as factor differentials, institutional quality, financial development, skilled labour endowment, distance, ICT infrastructure, and transport costs. The main contribution of the paper is to present empirical evidence of the theoretical assumptions and examine the significance and interplay of various factors that determine the mode of the international sourcing.
