Abstract

Repeated shocks to business continuity, such as extreme natural events, a global pandemic, geopolitical tensions, trade wars and actual wars, have challenged and are challenging multinational enterprises in their role as “orchestrators” within global value chains (GVCs). Consequently, interest in GVC resilience has grown in the field of international business. This study investigates how control and location decisions in GVCs can contribute to the resilience of the overall value chain. To answer this question, we develop a multiple case study in the context of the pharmaceutical and medical-device sectors, and propose a theoretical model of GVC resilience that untangles the mechanisms that help multinational enterprises and their value chains withstand shocks.

超越“风暴眼”：全球价值链弹性的流程和多层方法

极端自然事件、全球大流行病、地缘政治紧张局势、贸易战和实际战争等对业务连续性的反复冲击，已经并正在挑战跨国企业在全球价值链（gvc）中的“协调者”角色。因此，在国际商业领域，对全球价值链弹性的兴趣有所增长。本研究探讨了全球价值链中的控制和选址决策如何对整个价值链的弹性做出贡献。为了回答这个问题，我们在制药和医疗器械行业的背景下进行了多个案例研究，并提出了一个全球价值链弹性的理论模型，该模型理清了帮助跨国企业及其价值链抵御冲击的机制。
