This panel proposal clearly focuses on global value chains (GVC), which is a crucial topic in international business. Navigating paradoxes suggests a focus on the complexities and contradictions that multinational firms often face in global value chains. Indeed, on the one hand, seizing resilience emphasizes the importance of developing robust strategies to maintain and enhance business resilience in an ever-changing global landscape. On the other hand, this can imply a compression of the efficiency and profitability of the firms that are part of the GVCs.
This panel will examine conflicting demands within GVCs, identifying and examining key challenges, and highlight strategies for building resilience in global value chains.
