Abstract (De)
In today´s changing and competitive business environment, companies must identify and adjust their manufacturing capabilities to remain successful. In the past, manufacturing companies relocated capacities from high- to low-cost environments. Recent events, however, resulted in a call for reshoring. To successfully reshore, companies must consider competitive capabilities. We follow the taxonomy development approach from Nickerson et al. (2013) to determine the key capabilities of successful companies in high-cost environments. Due to high labor costs in combination with global success, we investigate the Swiss watchmaking industry. Our findings are a first milestone to decode the structure of the Swiss manufacturing landscape.
