| Abstract [eng] |
During the last few years, international and domestic supply chains have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and this has resulted in serious disruptions in companies’ global value chains (GVCs). This chapter explores the motivations and actions made in global apparel industry value chains during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the post-pandemic business environment. The study has been provoked by ongoing discussions and expectations of the regionalization of global value chains (GVCs) which should occur as a consequence of the challenges and issues caused by the pandemic. The primary aim of this chapter is to provide empirical evidence on the reconfiguration of GVCs, particularly the changes in buyer-supplier relations in the global apparel industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. The business news media serves as empirical data for the conclusion, that decisions and actions in the apparel industry GVCs are mostly short-term reactions to the supply issues that occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent geopolitical shock caused by the war in Ukraine. |
