Abstract
"The economic relocation is the activity transfer, funds, employees, in a foreign country which offer a competitive advantage.? (Wikipedia)
We chose this definition because for us it takes the notions of:
? Transfer ( which includes the notion of moving from the domestic country to a foreign one)
? Advantage (the reason of a delocalisation, the perpetual research of the difference as compared to the competitors)
This phenomenon exists for ages, but it actually began in the 1970s where manufacturing industries from Europe and USA relocated there premises principally in Asia. A study realized in the 1990s showed that 6.5 Million employment from industrialized countries moved to the Asian countries. Two factors influenced this figures and they are robotization and tertiary sectorization.
