"From China to the World – New Globalisation and how it affects Supply Chain strategies"

The growing prominence of China in the global economy has profound implications for supply chain strategies. Traditional supply chain models, which relied heavily on cost arbitrage and outsourcing to China, are being reevaluated in light of shifting geopolitical dynamics, trade tensions, and the imperative for resilience and agility. Companies are grappling with the need to diversify their supplier base, mitigate risks, and enhance supply chain visibility to navigate uncertainties effectively.
