The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains
Keywords:
COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Pandemic, Epidemic, Lockdown, Supply Chain Management, Healthcare Industry, DisruptionsAbstract
The unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on global supply chains. Since the onset of the pandemic, researchers have been actively investigating and publishing findings on the various supply chain challenges the virus poses. Despite the increasing number of publications on this topic, a lack of comprehensive literature reviews hinders a clear understanding of the areas that have already been explored and those requiring further study. The current review presents an analysis of prior research addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chain operations. A thorough search identified 74 new studies published on or before September 28, 2020. This review summarizes each study's research focus, methodology, background, and theoretical frameworks. Our findings indicate a scarcity of empirically conducted and theoretically grounded studies, limiting the generalizability of the results. Most recent research emphasizes supply chains for essential products and healthcare supplies, which faced significant demand during the pandemic. In contrast, the supply chains of non-essential items and small businesses have been mainly overlooked.
