Seminar title:
The New Supply Chain Renaissance
Abstract:
The recent pandemic, leading to massive supply chain disruption and now the challenges for vaccine production and distribution, has created the urgency for renewed improvements in the global supply chain. This urgency has also been precipitated by the continuous trade frictions among major countries. Supply chain management is faced with a need to have a Renaissance, like what happened after the Middle Ages for a cultural, artistic, political and economic rebirth. Even though some, including myself, have talked about such renaissance, what happened now requires a new level. I want to use the framework of Zeng Zi on the steps to better the world: First, better yourself, then your family, then your nation, and finally, the world. I will describe how leading companies should embrace new technologies to gain supply chain excellence, to use new collaborative relationships to ensure supply chain integration, and to innovate business models to create greater societal values. I will also share with some examples of research that are tied to such a development.
