Oceanside Meet: "You have to know the past to understand the present." Tom and Helen took us back to 30+ years ago and highlighted the significant moments, leading countries/players, and historical events that shaped globalization and the present global supply chain. Provided rising geo-political tension, the trade war between the US and China, and the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, the next era is different and challenging. Watch the video to learn about what drives the supply chain toward the future and the recommended strategy.
