Resilience and Risk in Global Supply Chains: Insights from Network Structure to Systemic Vulnerability

This article is based on government foresight reports, deeply analyzing the complex network structure of global supply chains, the systemic concentration points of risks, and how climate change and geopolitics act as risk amplifiers. It explores how enterprises can build resilience through multi-level collaboration. Applicable to executives in manufacturing, procurement directors, and policymakers.

Resilience and Risk in Global Supply Chains: Insights from Network Structure to Systemic Vulnerability

Event Overview

The global supply chain is undergoing a profound structural transformation. The linear supply chain model, which previously relied on cost minimization and efficiency maximization, has revealed its inherent fragility when faced with climate change, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing global interconnectedness. The core issue is no longer a single supply disruption, but rather the phenomenon where risks accumulate, interact across multiple production networks, and ultimately form systemic shocks. This analysis aims to go beyond describing specific events to understand, from the perspectives of system dynamics and network structure, how supply chain risks diffuse from "points" to "networks," and what systemic-level considerations are necessary to build true resilience.
