As we begin to move forward, it is important to start thinking about how to respond to the profound impacts COVID-19 has had on various industries.
Join two experts from the UBC Sauder community in Asia to reflect on the impact of COVID-19 on supply chains. Learn ways businesses are navigating these disruptions, protecting their supply chains, and exploring new trends for the future.
