Drivers Shaping Future Supply Chain Research
Several key drivers will significantly influence supply chains over the next three to five years, including advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), increasing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations, and geopolitical tensions. The findings indicate that organizations must prepare for scenarios such as the emergence of closed trade blocks and limited government-controlled data access.
