The Regionalisation of Global Supply Chains by EiU
From Covid-19 and the Regionalisation of Global Supply Chains by EIU, We come across an interesting report on the Regionalisation of Global Supply Chains written by The Economist Intelligence Unit and we share the link allowing you to register and download the report.
The coronavirus pandemic will fundamentally reshape trade, accelerating the trend towards shortening supply chains. In this special report, The Economist Intelligence Unit look at the key supply-side risks Covid-19 has exposed multinationals to and how they can respond.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU) is the research and analysis division of The Economist Group, the sister company
to The Economist newspaper. Created in 1946, we have over 70 years of experience in helping businesses, financial firms and governments to understand how the world is changing and how that creates opportunities to be seised and risks to be managed.
Given that many of the issues facing the world have an international (if not global) dimension, The EIU is ideally positioned to be a commentator, interpreter and forecaster on the phenomenon of globalisation as it gathers pace and has impacts a lot.
In this short report, The Economist Intelligence Unit examines how Covid-19 has impacted and will continue to fundamentally reshape global supply chains. With many multinationals looking to build resilience into their supply chains, the report takes a closer look at the accelerating trend of regional rather than global supply chain networks, in addition to the strategic use of inventory locations.
The second half of the report considers how else multinational organisations can respond to large global risks such as the coronavirus outbreak. Continuing to concentrate on the supply side, the report touches upon scenario planning, digitalisation and bringing risk management to the heart of a business’s long-term strategy.
