Growing global trade flows and integration has led to continuous and accelerating changes to our global supply chains over the past decades. Recent macroeconomic events, new technological developments, and most notably Covid-19, are envisioned to push global supply chains in further transforming and adapting. How will companies look into issues of resilience, security, and digitalisation in their supply chains and operations?
Global Supply Chains in a Glocal World aims to answer these mission-critical questions via a series of articles contributed by academics and senior management covering different industry sectors such as healthcare, food, e-commerce, textiles, mobility, and FMCG, as well as geographical, risk management, and technological perspectives. Proffering varied views of what has happened during the Covid years and what it means for the future, this book provides academics and practitioners a valuable resource when they navigate their next steps in an increasingly turbulent world.
