摘要
This paper examines what is still a relatively new phenomenon in the literature the outsourcing/offshoring of high-technology manufacturing and services This has become a concern for both policy makers and academics for two reasons Firstly policy makers have become concerned that the offshoring of high-technology sectors in the West will follow the more labour intensive sectors and move to lower cost locations Secondly international business theory has tended to view low costs and high levels of indigenous technological development as being the two main drivers of location advantage in the attraction of FDI We show that this may not be the case for offshored high-technology manufacturing or services (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
