内容摘要
The combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical conflicts have exposed how the reliance by global-operating companies on widely dispersed global value chains (GVCs) makes them vulnerable to unexpected disruptions, which in turn creates chaos in national economies and societies. Because these GVCs are the outcome of the decades-long globalization efforts embarked on companies and encouraged by governments, many have concluded that globalization is inherently ‘bad’ and that what is needed to protect economies and societies from future disruptions is deglobalization. We argue in this paper that such thinking is misguided along for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the impracticality of disassembling how global companies have spent decades creating. Instead, we argue that what is needed is a reimagination of how companies use their GVCs, using the creation of an innovation process that focuses on efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability as a mechanism for that reimagination. We demonstrate how working toward the Sustainable Development Goal of Responsible Production and Consumption can serve as a model for this reimagination.
