Abstract
Firms all over the world are starting to take advantage of the benefits of the globalisation. Trends in workforce reorganization and relocation have started to be in the big picture of worldwide firms in order to expand and increase their profits. The development of new economic states has changed tendencies in the world’s economy. This study explores how trait differences of countries can affect relocation of employees when a Relocation of Second Degree (RSD) occurs. RSDs are transfers in foreign countries of previously offshored divisions by manufacturing firms. An RSD can be a Relocation in a Third Country (RTC) or a Relocation in the Home Country (RHC). However, in this dissertation are only considered the RTC cases. The first part of this dissertation consists in a literature review based on two topics. Firstly, an analysis of the relocations with emphasis on the RSD is performed including technical concepts. The second section explores the possible effects of manufacturing or other activities relocation in the employment. After the literature part, data is presented, in the first place, explaining the general trends of relocation by European countries. Afterwards, data and variables are analysed in order to study the employees’ relocation through a descriptive statistical analysis. Obtained results of this study are a first step in the analysis of employees’ relocation in an RSD. Which allow us to deeply know more about different characteristics for each, origin and destination countries. For instance, on the one hand top ranked destinations stand out for their production cost efficiency. On the other hand, what is remarkable in the top ranked countries of origin is the high level of innovation
