Seminar

Impacts of COVID-19 on the Global Supply Chains and Policy Implication for Vietnam

Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic, with the new waves of infection in the year 2021, is a top concern for supply chain leaders in all industries around the world. The spread of the virus has been affecting the global supply chains due to the interdependence of supply, production and distribution on a worldwide scale. Most organizations and businesses in the world in general, and in Vietnam in particular, have been experiencing significant supply chain disruptions. This is having an increasingly large impact on the operation of the entire economy and its ability to recover from the pandemic. The impact of the pandemic on supply chain disruptions is becoming more widespread and severe, requiring scholars and researchers to understand the limitations and weaknesses of the current global supply chains, thereby proposing adjustments and innovations to ensure the coherence, flexibility and adaptability of the supply chains in different contexts.
