Mounting pressures from economic volatility, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and climate-related risks have exposed critical stress points in global supply chains.
Explore what the global supply chain is, why it matters, and the challenges businesses face in managing it. Learn how globalization, disruptions, and evolving logistics strategies shape today’s supply networks.
In an era defined by rapid geopolitical changes and global disruptions, supply chain leaders face unprecedented challenges. The onset of the 2020s has thrust supply chains into the limelight, demanding not only resilience but also a capacity to thrive amid adversity.
A sweeping new wave of U.S. tariffs, rising costs, and increasing pressure for ethical, resilient supply chains have forced operators to rethink what “global” really means—and whether their supply chain can keep up.
The World Economic Forum and Kearney present four plausible global outlooks for the future of supply chains, each with distinct implications for trade, regulation and resilience.
Through an in-depth literature analysis, this paper demarcates geopolitical disruptions and the resulting impact on supply chains as a new subfield of research.
From escalating conflicts to climate change, technological vulnerabilities, resource scarcity, regulatory changes, and health crises, these factors are collectively shaping how logistics professionals strategise and execute their global operations of businesses worldwide.
Understand how geopolitical events impact global supply chains and learn strategies to mitigate disruptions and build resilience in an uncertain environment.
We investigate methods to solve strategic global supply chain network design problems and develop a solution framework, comprised of mixed-integer linear programming, the Analytical Hierarchy Process and the Pareto front. It is applied in a case study in the med-tech industry.
The research examines key factors contributing to supply chain vulnerability, including economic sanctions, fluctuating trade policies, and global health crises.
