Globalization in the Postpandemic, Wartime Landscape

Abstract

The turbulent events of the last two and half years, including the global COVID-19 pandemic and the reemergence of war in Europe, have drastically splintered interdependent economic networks and changed the globalized business environment. Some experts are now debating the merits and drawbacks of continued globalization and predicting entirely new economic blocs as countries attempt to recover to long-term stability. This case covers the recent events through the lens of globalization and asks students to discuss and forecast the future of a globally connected business landscape.
