Discuss in small groups of 2 to 3 how the four practices of network management (cf. e.g. Helfen et al., 2018 in background readings and also lecture 4) could be used to make global supply chains for critical goods more resilient. After your group discussion, write up an individual report (400-500 words) about one example that you discussed by specifying the good, the current supply chain structure for this good, the network management practice that seems to be currently applied and how it could be made more resilient. Each group member should report on a different example (either a different good or a different management practice or both).
