Abstract

The globalization of supply chains is both the enabler and the effect of the globalized economy. Recently, it has become clear that the high level of efficiency of tight global supply chains came with a cost as turbulence and resulting supply chain disruptions have become more frequent and common. A greater level of resilience in the global supply chain stands out as the main mechanism to mitigate challenges. While achieving resilience without doubt is challenging for companies, we suggest that it can be done and we discuss a selection of initiatives companies can take in this regard.
