Why do we care about Supply Chain Globalization?

5 Advantages


The first advantage in my opinion is the ability to reach customers old and new not only in the US but around the world. What globalization does is simplify different communication tactics to reach business owners, vendors, and customers. When everything is flowing properly it is easy to create relationships and stay connected with customers around the world.

Second advantage involves the ability to expand different sourcing opportunities. Globalization makes it possible for business's to get diverse and hard working people, along with materials and products around the world. Products are extremely important because we couldn't always reach out or ship things that today might take two days. Amazon prime and the ability for possible drones in the future make it that much more exciting to me.

Next is the availability you have to give your customers a larger variety of goods and services. If globalization is going to increase your sourcing opportunities like it did earlier, then it will commonly increase your range of products and services as well.

You have endless opportunity to grow your business if globalization is going to broaden the amount of customers you have. Then it will also increase what you ideas are. Chances to grow the company, customers, workers, the list goes on.

Finally, you will have more options to source from which means more capital for your business. Great chance to spend more money, and with spending more money you have the opportunity to then earn more money in the future.

These are just my personal top 5 advantages. There are many more ideas out there and people that explain things in different ways, but this is the way I like to explain it personally. Extra Advantages

The other side of the coin

Disadvantages  With advantages always comes disadvantages and when it comes to the supply chain and globalization there in no outlier. I have three or four that I want to talk about in this post. A large disagreement people like to talk about is political, economic, and environmental instability. "These issues can cause difficulties sourcing the products, materials, and supplies you need when businesses have to close down or are unable to transport goods. This can lead to you not having enough inventory to fulfill customers demand and can hurt both your sales and customers satisfaction."(Donohoe) Problems could also arise where particular customers may have ordered a product but haven't received it yet. An may never receive it at all if it comes to a close or full shutdown. The next one is particular language and communication barriers. Could be difficult to set up meetings and talk to the other side directly. Issues of being misheard could occur as well. This migh

Debunking common disadvantages

Feedback to disadvantage's I think it's important to start out that not all disadvantage's can be fixed or debunked. No system is perfect and there will always be issues. However dwindling these problems down to smaller ones can be done. When it comes to political, economic, and environmental instability most people don't realize the real reason these things happen. The majority of the time it's on the Supply Chain not being structured properly. Or having a built in plan in place for when things like this occur. Being able to stay on your feet and pivot when different things like this happen is part of SC responsibility. When you struggle with communication others speaking different languages it shouldn't be a problem in today's day and age. If you don't have a translator there are a ton of apps that can help you understand what others are saying. Also when hiring company's like to look for people who are diverse in other languages for dealing
