Abstract
Supply-chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are of unparalleled
magnitude because of a confluence of circumstances: a sudden rise in demand for
some products, unforeseen shifts in demand points, supply shortages, a logistical
crisis, and an unprecedentedly quick recovery in major economies. This article maps
the changes that will occur in supply-chain planning and management in a post-
COVID-19 world. It also reflects on the articles included in this special issue and
draws key conclusions about how configurations of global supply chains might
change. Automation and digitalization are likely to play a key role in these transitions.
