Abstract
In 2020, US and European firms undertook financial risk that they can ill-afford to carry, stemming from their supply chain networks. Many have gradually deluded themselves into thinking their risk was reasonable, while other firms have made production sourcing decisions with little idea of the true magnitude of their risks. However, the rising risk was an inevitable consequence of the economy’s multinational firms, spreading the supply chain further away from their home base. For the purposes of this paper, we consider risk associated with a transaction to be excessive when the domestic multinational is likely to incur a loss that will seriously compromise its production and sales, and possibly force the firm into bankruptcy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
