ABSTRACT

The inevitable shocks that come along may not confront the different parts of the firm in the same way. Outcomes are a consequence of strategic decisions and managerial actions relating to growth and diversification. Shock is at least partially quarantined in one operating domain of the organization's universe, and in the worst case scenario can be dealt with by fully exiting from that domain. Reasons include unsatisfactory performance, a lack of management and liquid resources, and disagreements in general policies. Internal conflict in countries is a feature that can threaten the survival of local organizations and entrepreneurs, let alone international investors. Visibility is enabled by collective effort and information available to network members, whereas velocity in response to supply chain disruptions is enhanced by collaborative communication that allows buyer and supplier to identify opportunities for streamlining and optimizing processes.
