The Value Chain Module Relocation and Company Competitiveness

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the relocation of the company’s value chain modules. Relocation is defined as a process of moving some or all of the tasks performed by an economic entity to a vendor operating in the same country or abroad, who is or is not related by ownership structures to the relocating company. In the paper this issue is analyzed from the perspective of company competitiveness. The study discusses an analytical framework, which attempts to explain the mechanism of the influence of value chain module relocations on the company competitiveness. This impact is analyzed from the perspective of factors affecting competitiveness dimensions applied in the article (competitive potential, competitive strategy and competitive position). To maintain the transparency of the framework, the factors have been divided into 5 groups, which are discussed in the subsequent parts of the paper. In the literature a similar, comprehensive analysis is not available, while taking it into account in the relocation decision process is necessary to make a well-founded and economically efficient relocation decision.
