Special Issue of the Journal of Operations Management

Global Operations and Supply Chain Management in the Context of Dynamic International Relations

Background:

Volatility in international relations among countries can influence a firm’s global operations and its underlying supply chain design through the interactions among states and non-state actors. For example, one intent of the current trade war between the U.S. and China is to encourage reshoring decisions by U.S. manufacturers (The Economist, 2018). The Catalonia independence vote in Spain led more than 2,700 firms to move their headquarters away from the region (Erickson, 2017). The Brexit referendum has raised concerns for multinational enterprises about access to international markets. These concerns have led firms to rethink the design of their global supply chains in Europe (Sheng, 2019).

The sentiments of non-state actors can impact global supply chain designs and operations as well. For examples, the French-language movement in Quebec (Canada) drove French-speaking consumers to complain and boycott brands that refused to add a French phase to their logos (Canadian Press, 2012; Hamilton, 2016). Lotte Mart, one of the largest Korean retailers, was forced to exit the China market because of the boycott by Chinese consumers caused by the Korean government’s providing land for the U.S. missile defense system (China Daily, 2018).

These cases demonstrate the significant impact of various external stakeholders on firms’ global operations and supply-chain decisions. Research on the impact of international relations is well established in international business, political science, and economics disciplines. The scope of international relations covers (but is not limited to) foreign affairs, international history, international laws, non-state actors’ (e.g., NGOs and consumer groups) behaviors, and international events (Baylis et al., 2017). Some of these issues have been addressed through analysis of national and international political activities (Hillman and Wan, 2005), labor standards in a global context (Locke et al., 2007), national cultures and communications (Nes et al, 2007), innovation policy and global production (Breznitz and Murphree, 2011), terrorism activities (Czinkota et al., 2010), and the deglobalization phenomenon (Witt, 2019).

To examine the impact of the dynamics of international relations on operations, it is fairly common for operations management (OM) scholars to use various dummy variables in their empirical models to capture the year and/or location to control for the effects caused by the dynamic change of certain corresponding events. However, these treatments skim the surface and often overlook research opportunities proffered by these dynamics. From a historical perspective, international relations have been identified as a major driver of demand, innovation, and capital formation throughout the industrial revolution (Singhal, 2001). Yet, current empirical OM literature provides limited insight about how the dynamics of international relations affect the efficiency, effectiveness, consistency, and flexibility of global operations and supply chain management (OSCM). With the absence of implications and insights derived from empirical research, operations managers are provided with limited references for their decision making in adapting to ever-changing business environments. There have been only a few exceptions. Metters (2008) argued that the dynamic of international relations may pose risks to offshoring strategies. Dube et al. (2016) explored the impacts of host government on the performance international humanitarian organizations. Singhal and Singhal (2019) described the role of international relations and war in the development of Chinese technology and manufacturing.

Topics:

This special issue aims to push forward the discourse among political and social sciences and OM. We encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts that can advance our understanding of the impacts of international relations on global OSCM. We also encourage OM scholars to investigate how public policy that could affect firms’ operations is generated, and examine how OM research provides implications for formulating policy. We expect that these research implications can contribute to future policy-making by facilitating physical, information, and cash flows in global supply chains. Potential topics include but not limited to the following:

The impacts of unilateral, bilateral, and multi-lateral international trade agreements on the transition and performance of a firm’s global operations strategy
Global supply chain management in the context of dynamic national power relations and conflicts
Operational resilience to adverse international events (e.g., war, terrorism political disputes, natural and man-made disasters)
Industry regulatory and operational strategies (e.g., worker health and safety regulations, environmental regulations, etc.)
Government enforcements and regulatory requirements for improving occupational safety and sustainability
National monetary policy and supply-chain finance
Adapting operational systems to environmental changes
Collaborative innovations among firms and governments
Economic reforms and supply chain management in state-owned enterprises and privately held firms
Social movements and their impacts on OSCM
OSCM decisions in response to non-government organization (NGO) campaigns
Terrorism and global supply-chain security
Entry barriers and international operations (e.g., immigration policies)
International collaborations and humanitarian operations

Surveys, experiments, action research, case studies, secondary and archival data analysis, network analysis, and typological analysis
Combinations of empirical and other methods such as analytical modeling, simulation, and ethnography

Journal of Operations Management特刊

动态国际关系背景下的全球运营与供应链管理

背景：

国家间国际关系的波动会通过国家和非国家行为者之间的互动影响企业的全球运营及其基础供应链设计。例如，当前美中贸易战的一个意图是鼓励美国制造商重新安排库存（《经济学人》，2018）。西班牙加泰罗尼亚独立投票导致2700多家公司将总部迁离该地区（Erickson，2017）。英国脱欧公投引发了跨国企业对进入国际市场的担忧。这些担忧导致企业重新考虑其在欧洲的全球供应链设计（Sheng，2019）。

非国家行为者的情绪也会影响全球供应链的设计和运作。例如，魁北克（加拿大）的法语运动促使讲法语的消费者抱怨和抵制拒绝在其徽标中添加法语的品牌（Canadian Press，2012；Hamilton，2016）。韩国最大零售商之一的乐天超市（Lotte Mart）被迫退出中国市场，原因是韩国政府为美国导弹防御系统提供土地而引起中国消费者的抵制（China Daily, 2018）。

这些案例说明了外部利益相关者对企业全球运营和供应链决策的重大影响。对国际关系影响的研究在国际商务、政治学和经济学学科中已经很成熟。国际关系的范围包括（但不限于）外交事务、国际历史、国际法、非国家行为者（如非政府组织和消费者团体）行为和国际事件（Baylis等，2017）。其中一些问题已经通过分析国家和国际政治活动（Hillman和Wan，2005）、全球范围内的劳工标准（Locke等人，2007）、国家文化和通信（Nes等，2007）、创新政策和全球生产（Breznitz和Murphree，2011）、恐怖主义活动（Czinkota等，2010）以及去全球化现象（Witt，2019）得到了解决。

为了考察国际关系动态对运营的影响，运营管理（OM）学者在其实证模型中使用各种虚拟变量来捕捉年份和/或地点，以控制某些相应事件的动态变化所造成的影响。然而，这些处理略过表面，往往忽略了这些动态提供的研究机会。从历史的角度来看，在整个工业革命期间，国际关系被认为是需求、创新和资本形成的主要驱动力（Singhal，2001）。然而，目前的实证OM文献对国际关系的动态如何影响全球运营和供应链管理（OSCM）的效率、有效性、一致性和灵活性提供的见解有限。由于缺乏从实证研究中得出的启示和见解，运营经理在适应不断变化的商业环境方面的决策参考有限。只有少数例外。Metters（2008）认为，国际关系的动态可能会给离岸外包战略带来风险。Dube等（2016）探讨了东道国政府对国际人道主义组织绩效的影响。Singhal和Singhal（2019）描述了国际关系和战争在中国技术和制造业发展中的作用。

主题：

本期特刊旨在推动政治社会科学与政治学以及运营管理的对话。我们鼓励提交高质量的稿件，以增进我们对国际关系对全球OSCM影响的理解。我们也鼓励OM学者研究公共政策是如何产生影响企业运营的，并探讨OM研究如何为制定政策提供启示。我们期望这些研究成果能够通过促进全球供应链中的实物、信息和现金流，为未来的政策制定做出贡献。可能的主题包括但不限于以下内容：

单边、双边和多边国际贸易协定对企业全球运营战略转型和绩效的影响
动态国家权力关系和冲突背景下的全球供应链管理
应对不利国际事件（如战争、恐怖主义、政治争端、自然和人为灾害）的运营弹性
行业监管和运营战略（例如，工人健康和安全法规、环境法规等）
提高职业安全和可持续性的政府执法和监管要求
国家货币政策与供应链金融
使运营系统适应环境变化
企业与政府间的合作创新
国有企业和私营企业的经济改革和供应链管理
社会运动及其对OSCM的影响
应对非政府组织（NGO）活动的OSCM决定
恐怖主义与全球供应链安全
入境壁垒和国际运营（如移民政策）
国际合作和人道主义运营

我们欢迎提出明确而重要的研究问题，并使用任何一种严谨、实证方法和方法论。我们还鼓励使用多种研究方法。包括但不限于：

调查、实验、行动研究、案例研究、二次和档案数据分析、网络分析和类型分析
实证和其他方法的结合，如分析建模、仿真和民族志
