主   题：Geopolitics and Supply Chain Resilience: An Empirical Research Program

主讲人：吴靖  香港中文大学商学院教授

主持人：吴肖乐 复旦大学管理学院教授

Abstract：Classical operations management models share a foundational assumption: the institutional environment is stable and exogenous. That assumption no longer holds. Trade wars, economic sanctions, and geopolitical fragmentation have turned the institutional environment itself into a major source of supply chain disruption. This talk presents an empirical research program on supply chain resilience under geopolitics, organized around three propositions. Proposition I: Transmission. Supply chains transmit far more than goods. Demand signals, financial risks, and geopolitical shocks propagate through the same firm-to-firm networks. Proposition II: Strategy. Geopolitics is no longer merely an external constraint on supply chain decisions; it has become an integral strategic consideration. Conversely, supply chains have become instruments through which states exercise economic power. Proposition III: Mechanism. Resilience is not redundancy. It emerges from the interaction of network architecture, financial flexibility, and decision intelligence. The talk concludes with several open questions at the research frontier.
