The Impact

As the domestic businesses expand, many are making the choice to use foreign products, labor, and services to aid in their production. Global supply chains are minimizing the costs of the production process but are also creating vulnerabilities to home countries. As the global economy changes, the competitiveness between countries grows. Competitiveness can affect everything from a country’s economy to how a firm conducts international business. Addressing the need to find a method to increase the United States competitiveness in the world economy by improving the use of global supply chains would help to make domestic firms more successful in the global economy. Studying how companies position themselves abroad is important to providing insight into how to become more competitive. Worldwide companies are diversifying by moving more of their supply chain to international locations. This is providing them with many benefits such as better markets for products, lower costs, and more advanced technologies. As a result, the competitive strategy of companies is to increase production and decrease costs through the most efficient global supply chain. Maximizing the potential of domestic firms’ global supply chains is one of the most effective ways to increase U.S. competitiveness. If more big businesses in the United States are willing to participate on the global level, then the US will be able to improve their competitiveness.

The Impact

Value chain governance (VCG) strategies have important marketing implications for specific wine and agri-food products that used GIs in Italy and UK. There are many challenges surrounding the prevailing trend or movement towards the adoption of exclusive quality standards and distinctions in the global supply chains of agri-food products, including wines to support the conception of traceability and safety assurances. This article aimed to reviewing previous research that could be relevant to the analysis of governance mechanisms in supply chains related to GIs for these products. The study analyzed how other researchers coped with these research issues. The survey was qualitative in nature, and recapped selected case studies from Italy and UK, regarding the VCG of wine and food products GIs. Therefore, the findings were limited only to the impact of VCG, wine and food production in these areas and could not be generalized beyond them. The article contributes in advancing knowledge and transferring it from existing situations in developed countries or markets to the developing ones.

Significance While manufacturing is recovering after its sharp contraction during the first wave of shutdowns, the recovery is uneven by sector and region, reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on the structure of market demand, manufacturing capacity and global supply chains. Impacts The major industrial economies bar China have become more dependent on manufactured imports during 2020; this will ease gradually. Production is recovering but manufacturing employment is not, and this will continue; policies to support dislocated workers will be key. Geographic variations in the incidence of COVID-19 will accentuate the sectoral and regional differences in manufacturing performance.

The Impact

The main aim of the article is indication of impact of the rise global supply chains on the new tendencies in contemporary foreign trade policy. The subject of the discussion and theoretical contribution in the undertaken research program is presents new tendencies in international trade—the rise of global supply chains, the impact of the rise global supply chains on the political economy of trade and countries motivations for cooperating on trade policies and the rise of global supply chains and increasing importance of bilateral agreements in the foreign trade policy. It is important to underline that a few multinational firms are responsible for a major share of world trade and for the rise of global supply chains. On the one hand, these firms should support regulatory harmonization across different Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) in order to lower trade costs. On the other hand, they might also resist harmonization—and encourage certain non-tariff measures—in order to prevent new competitors from entering markets. This may partly explain the persistence of regulatory divergence, and suggests that the political economy of regulatory convergence, especially in the conditions of the rise global supply chains, may be more important and more complex than is sometimes suggested.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic reminded society that, in addition to natural disasters, epidemics are also part of our past, present and future. Even if we cannot prevent the emergence of dangerous viruses, we must be prepared to mitigate their impact on society. It is clear that the COVID-19 epidemic, in addition to its severe physiological effects, has caused significant economic damage worldwide. Global supply chains in different industries face significant challenges. Not only is the economy affected by the virus; society as a whole is affected, leading to dramatic changes in the behaviour of businesses and consumers. The global supply chains that have shown a high level of stability and resilience in recent decades now face a number of disruptive factors. The pandemic adversely affected the entire chain in terms of both manufacturing and logistics processes, as well as a significant shift in demand. The pandemic highlighted the need to focus on three key areas to increase the resilience of supply chains: risk and flexibility, global transparency, and rapid response and decision-making. It can be concluded that the changes caused by the epidemic will make global supply chains shorter and more transparent through renewed strategies such as digitization, the tools of which are the building blocks of the DSN.

The Impact

This paper’s objectives are the following: describing the impact of the COVID 19 crisis on the mechanism of export-import operations; the evolution of Romania’s export-import activities during 2020-2021 and identifying some recommendations meant to help companies fight the sanitary crisis’ effects. The study is based on a theoretical research investigating the impact of the sanitary crisis on the management of an export-import operation. Due to disruptions in global supply chains, the companies operating in the field of international trade had to redefine their operating strategies for the foreign markets. The magnitude of these changes related to the transactional mechanism specific to export-import activities will lead to profound mutations in the global supply chain, with benefits in term of resilience in all phases of the supply chain.
