Abstract

Outsourcing, globalization and innovation have been some of the main trends persisting in the supply chains for a significant amount of time. Furthermore, the wicked problems related to environmental issues and consumption have been steadily increasing in their scope and scale. However, with the extraordinary event commonly known as COVID-19 that came into play, some of the main issues and dangers of those trends were exposed. Those include but are not limited to the interdependence on the cross-national borders, constantly changing requirements, uncertainty and paperwork, lack of transparency and unified systems for monitoring and tracking the real-life data and the appropriate data management techniques. Although a lot of efforts were performed trying to take more proactive approaches, there are limited guidelines coming from practitioners or literature existent concerning supply chain crisis management. This chapter examines some selected cases and business practices that were identified by literature review and qualitative interviews to provide insights about the current and possible future developments of supply chain management and resilience.
