Abstract: Despite the growing discussions on supply chain decoupling, there is relatively little research about this strategy beyond reshoring discussions. Based on qualitative research, we investigate the strength of decoupling tendencies, their drivers, and constraints. The study indicates that major drivers of decoupling are an increased flexibility and shorter lead time, while the availability of suppliers is a major constraint. Further, although the drivers and constraints are similar, the results suggest that the two concepts–supply chain decoupling and reshoring–differ, as companies pursue those approaches with varying degrees of strength. In this regard, the findings also reveal a gap of political discussions and business practice. In conclusion, our exploratory study brings several important implications to purchasing and supply managers on decoupling considerations.
