Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the global economy, laying bare the coordination challenges and vulnerabilities of global value chains (GVCs) across sectors. Governments, consumers, and firms alike have called for GVC greater resilience to ensure critical products are delivered to the right place, at the right time, and in the right condition. We investigate whether GVC reconfiguration through adoption of redistributed manufacturing (RDM) in local production can deliver greater resilience against unexpected, disruptive global events. We position a framework and propose actionable steps for managers to ensure more resilient GVCs in the face of global shocks.
