In recent years, the global economy has encountered unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labour and resource shortages, price shocks, geopolitical risks, and disruptions in logistics. These shocks have become more frequent and are now the new normal. As we move into a future defined by constant disruption—driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and the far-reaching effects of climate change—it is evident that businesses must adapt and transform rather than expect a return to past stability. Navigating this turbulent and volatile landscape is imperative. Simultaneously, markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and companies must navigate the complexities of a global business environment.
Global Value Chains (GVCs) form the backbone of modern international trade and business operations. This programme offers a deep dive into the structure and dynamics of GVCs, emphasizing international business operations, pricing strategies, brand positioning, and risk management amidst geopolitical uncertainties.
This programme provides a comprehensive understanding of GVCs across industries, assessing their impact on business profitability, marketing, and pricing strategies, while also addressing risk management. The programme equips participants with the essential tools and knowledge to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities presented by GVCs in today’s interconnected and rapidly evolving world.
