Supply Chain Management

> Return to the #112 Newsletter

In today’s global market, supply chain management has become more critical than ever as a marker of business success. Organizations that can anticipate change and manage their supply networks with agility are best positioned to thrive in a volatile, technology-driven environment. Yet supply chains are under increasing pressure as disruption becomes the norm. Advances in technology, rising ESG expectations, tightening resources, and evolving business models are reshaping how companies plan, produce, and deliver.

Designing resilient supply chains requires a deep understanding of the structures that underpin global networks — the power dynamics among actors, and the impact and risks of policy measures and control mechanisms implemented by both companies and governments.

This newsletter offers a curated selection of trusted sources to help you better understand the forces reshaping supply chains and stay ahead of emerging challenges and opportunities.
