Discover the underlying forces steering today's global economy and supply chains with our latest discussion on Chain Reaction. We promise insights into the labor strikes impacting Boeing, the mysterious £40 billion shortfall in the UK's finances, and the staggering global debt nearing an unprecedented $100 trillion. As we navigate turbulent waters, we uncover the automotive industry's struggle with surging car prices and the pivot to electric vehicles. Listen in as we examine the ripple effects of declining steel production and energy price volatility on the UK's renewable energy goals, while spotlighting industry tremors like LVMH's sales challenges, job cuts at Airbus and Boeing, and Ryanair's revised traffic forecasts.
Journey with us into the evolving energy landscape, where the IEA forecasts a peak in fossil fuel demand, potentially igniting a green energy revolution. We shed light on the declines and strategic shifts at major corporations like ASML and Walgreens, and introduce Amazon's colorful new Kindle. The conversation spans the surge in AI investments in the US and the importance of fairness in agri-food supply chains. We tackle the repercussions of the International Longshoremen’s Association strike, H&M’s sustainability strides, and the latest SAPICS conference theme. Finally, we congratulate Travis Culper on his CSCMP Doctoral Award. Perhaps Travis will join us to discuss his work at a later date. Here at Chain Reaction we love to have episodes packed with crucial updates and expert analyses. Join us for a compelling exploration of the forces shaping our global supply chains today.
