Global Supply Chain (Fr)Agility
Navigating the COVID-19 Crisis
Friday, April 10, 2020, 12pm EDT
Event Overview
Nearly all of our institutions are enduring great stress during the COVID-19 crisis, and global supply chain networks are no exception. From everyday basics that are no longer available on grocery store shelves to shortages of desperately-needed medical equipment, the news has been filled with reports of scarcity. Why is the pandemic causing the “invisible hand” of the market to leave us so short-handed? Are these just temporary disruptions or will supply chains forever be altered?
A select panel of Cornell University scholars will share their insights on the functioning and structure of supply chains during this unprecedented crisis.
