Abstract
A key strategic decision for an MNC is the choice between internalisation and externalisation for every activity in the value chain. This strategic choice raises the question of what is the appropriate value chain architecture of a firm. In the context of internationalisation or even globalisation new options such as offshoring have emerged. The purpose of this Chapter is to highlight the importance of corporate boundary and location decisions and to describe the variety of alternatives.
