- Sweden is one of the success stories of international trade in rapidly changing and challenged global markets experienced in recent decades. In this research work, we analyze trade change of 2010-2023 period. When it comes to imports, the role of Russia, United Kingdom (UK) and Denmark has declined, while the role of the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland show increase. For exports, a diminishing role of UK and Russia could be detected, while the role of the Unites States, Poland and China has increased. Our interpretation is that these trade changes are due to global macro-level political changes. Both Brexit (2016 onwards) and Russian invasion of Ukraine (2014 onwards) are having long-term effects. Before both UK and Russia held high importance; however, in the recent years, especially exports to USA have played an important role, and is providing growth and surplus. Despite declining importance, UK trade has remained in surplus, and could be characterized as a slower-moving market.

To relocate or not to relocate: A conceptual framework for initiating the manufacturing relocation process
- 2024

- Lately, there has been an increasingly larger focus on the drivers, triggers, and the decision-making process in manufacturing relocation decision-making research. However, as of today, there is still a gap in knowledge on how firms can initially decide if there is a potential for relocating manufacturing activities. Currently, there is a lack of conceptual frameworks to guide researchers and practitioners regarding the initial decision phase. Thus, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework for the initial decision phase based on the existing knowledge of manufacturing relocation decision-making processes. The conceptual framework is developed using the existing literature, where the literature stands as a basis for the conceptual model. As the literature on the topic is scant, literature from other connected topics was used to develop the conceptual framework. The conceptual framework was later demonstrated using a fictive case. Both researchers and practitioners could benefit from the framework, as it provides a fundamental idea for how firms can assess whether it is potentially beneficial to relocate their manufacturing activities.
