- initial impact at the center of the virus in China
- short-term effects on business
- long-term impact on trade and global supply chains.
David Iwinski and Dennis Unkovic demonstrated how the cascading effects that started in China will magnify several existing critical macro-trends within China and ripple outwards to dramatically affect supply, revenue, earnings and market share of a significant range of global companies.
In particular, the webinar will examined these effects and the downstream results will radically change the global supply chain and pose serious challenges for US businesses unprepared for this adjustment. Issues discussed include:
