The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Global Supply Chains by Chris Andersen Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 5.0, Addis Ababa University, course: Master of Business Management, language: English, abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted global supply chains, leading to unprecedented economic challenges and logistical complexities. Originating in China in December 2019, the virus rapidly spread to over 210 countries, resulting in more than 100 million confirmed cases worldwide and over 2 million deaths. This global crisis triggered severe disruptions across various sectors, including high-tech industries, automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food supply chains. Notably, companies like Apple, Samsung, and Tesla experienced production halts due to labor shortages and supply chain constraints. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry grappled with increased demand for essential medical supplies, while the food sector faced labor shortages and transportation disruptions. The pandemic-induced shutdowns, travel restrictions, and stringent import/export controls severely hampered international logistics, further exacerbating supply chain vulnerabilities. Consequently, the crisis highlighted the intricate interdependencies within global supply chains and underscored the urgent need for resilience, sustainability, and strategic reevaluation to mitigate future disruptions effectively.
Much has been written about Covid-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In his new book, "The New (Ab)Normal", MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi maps how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He exposes the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis. The book draws on executive interviews, pandemic media coverage, and historical analyses. Sheffi also builds on themes from his books "The Resilient Enterprise" (2005) and "The Power of Resilience" (2015) to enrich the narrative. The author paints a compelling picture of how the Covid-19 virus is changing many facets of human life and what our post-pandemic world might look like. This must-read book helps companies to redefine their business models and adjust to a fast-evolving economic landscape. The stage is set In Part 1 of the book, “What Happened,” the author looks at how companies fought to mend the global economic fabric even as the virus ripped more holes in it. Part 2, “Living with Uncertainty,” views the crisis through a supply chain risk management lens derived from Yossi Sheffi’s previous books. This perspective shows how companies create corporate immune systems to quickly recognize and manage large-scale disruptions. The ongoing pandemic is creating a new normal in life, work, and education—covered in Part 3, “Adjustment Required.” Consumer fears about the contagion as well as government mandates require businesses in industries such as retail, hospitality, entertainment, sports, and education to create “safe zones” for workers and customers. Many elements of the book – especially in Part 4, “Supply Chains for the Future” – show how the virus accelerated preexisting trends in technology adoption. China was the epicenter of the pandemic; it also was the first nation to be disrupted and recover. Part 5 of the book, “Of Politics and Pandemics,” explains why reports that companies are abandoning China in favor of other offshore manufacturing centers do not reflect reality. Fundamentally, The New (Ab)Normal is about businesses trying to create a better future in a time of extreme uncertainty – a point emphasized in Part 6, “The Next Opportunities.” The outlook is not necessarily gloomy. The advance of technology is accelerating, a trend that can level the playing field between small and large companies. Nimble small businesses are using a growing array of off-the-shelf cloud computing and mobile apps to deploy sophisticated technologies in their supply chains and customer interfaces. The New (Ab)Normal Another new normal is working from home. Remote working enables individuals to live anywhere and companies to recruit talent from anywhere. Education, especially higher education, faces a major disruption (and major opportunity) that is likely to shake the high-cost model of in-person education in favor of online or hybrid education. Regrettably, the book recognizes one trend accentuated by Covid-19--the growing inequality, and anticipates that the new normal will be more stratified.

Reshaping Global Value Chains in Light of COVID-19 by Paul Brenton,Michael J. Ferrantino,Maryla Maliszewska Pdf
Global value chains (GVCs) have driven dramatic expansions in trade, productivity, and economic growth in developing countries. This book examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on GVCs and explores whether they can continue to be a driver of trade and development. The report reviews previous crises and what these tell us about the resilience of GVC firms to shocks. It examines the observed impact of COVID-19 on trade during the sharp global recession of 2020. It summarizes discussions with GVC firms on the impacts of, and their responses to, the COVID shock. GVCs showed surprising resilience, but the rapid recovery raised new issues with supply chains. The book then explores simulations from a global economic model of the potential longer-term impacts of COVID-19 on developing countries and other key factors shaping the global economy, including the evolving role of China, increasing trade restrictions and policy responses to global warming. The analysis shows that while there are risks associated with GVCs, especially those concentrated around key nodes and where opportunities to find alternative suppliers or buyers are limited, there are mechanisms by which GVCs maintain trade relationships during a crisis, paving the way for a strong trade-led recovery. Measures are identified that can enhance the resilience of GVCs in low-income countries. This report finds that policies that maintain and enhance trade can contribute toward crisis management and recovery. Attempts to reshore production would make all countries worse off, including those that implement them, and could drive 52 million people, mainly in Africa, into extreme poverty. Measures to meet climate change commitments will have more profound impacts, leading to a shift away from carbon-intensive GVCs, while new opportunities for trade will arise in GVCs that are less carbon intensive.

360Adeg View of Supply Chains in Covid-19 by Ajay Serohi Pdf
Ninety percent of companies' impacts on the environment come from their supply chains, and three in every four US businesses have reported supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global supply chains have been struggling to devise a roadmap to recovery, to keep essential operations going, ever since the advent of the pandemic. We all experienced the empty shelves of sanitizers or toilet rolls in our everyday stores. Everyone loves a crisis except perhaps those living it. And these times are often the best to portray larger-than-life concepts because at some point in our lives, we all need a little reminder that we are not the center of the universe. Least we realize that we are in a borrowed space from our children and grandchildren, and immediately take to more sustainable ways, this rented place is doomed. All great events in history are probably not half as intriguing as the book or movies portraying them turn out to be. However, while others use the art of exaggeration, I have personalized the heck out of the entire supply chain operation. Using simple and jargon-free words, my characters in this story weave around the verticals of the supply chain and a circular economy to illuminate the concepts of the supply chain network, its management, and its close link with the circular economy. Therefore, the intention of this book is to provide an understanding of how the microcosm of sustainable supply chains, circular economy, political greed, and social activism evolves into trade-offs on the principle of optimality. People cannot be simply castigated into pro or anti-environmentalists, but the choices made are to be analyzed in the shades of gray, where only the brave tread into the twilight of living a life.
