While what supply chain managers had learnt during the coronavirus pandemic was becoming the ‘new normal’ and we were moving toward a humanitarian and economic crisis, a new mindset had emerged. Global supply chains had been strained, which made it urgent for policies that would lessen disruptions and intensify resilience. In the economic literature, new expressions have been used more and more frequently, such as reshoring vs. onshoring, inshoring vs. outsourcing, resilience vs. robustness, preparing for ‘just-in-case’ vs. ‘just-in-time’ delivery, and new words such as deglobalization have appeared. Companies have had to rethink most of their businesses and to develop new competencies. Old rules are not completely obsolete, but used on their own they are inappropriate for surviving and prospering in a fast-changing environment.
The purpose of this book is to review the foundation of SCM and discuss how it can deal with the recent waves of change by using digital technologies for more efficiency, profitability, and resilience. The book provides
an understanding of the breathtaking shift in traditional industries and the resulting significant implications for SCM. The basic message is that the new social and economic environment requires a totally new strategic management mindset.
