Abstract

With global economics and worldwide markets changing at a rapid pace the need to review how this effects global supply operations, risk management, and operational controls is a tactical and strategic component of organizational management. These types of international business arrangements require diversification to the supply chain networks, partnerships, and value chains in all businesses that are doing trade abroad. Geopolitics brings uncertainty to any supply chain organization and having awareness of policy, compliance, and technology strategy are key contributors during the study exploration. Having highly skilled human resource talent to support operational throughput is included in this study to explore proper utilization of capital resources for the total cost of economics that is accompanied by organizational complexities. Globalization as explored throughout this research is not just an opportunity but a decision that has to be thought through from a value proposition, leadership perspective, and proper alignment of all types of organizational resources. These are resources such as technology systems, security, trade policies, logistical controls, and competitiveness just as a portion of global trade dynamics recognition points. The impacts of global and geopolitical trade factors have significantly influenced firm’s resiliency to pricing fluctuations, material availability, and business economic risk. The analysis demonstrated that with the destabilization of global markets business firms must employ continuity, cohesiveness, embrace technology, train their employees, and create a collaborative network throughout the organizational chain and value chain.
