Is It Time to Rethink Globalized Supply Chains?

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the complex interdependencies of globalized supply chains. While these global multistage production networks had spread during a relatively benign environment of falling trade barriers and increasing interdependencies among countries, a series of shocks over the last decade and the current crisis argue for a reassessment. Managers should consider regionalization, more robust second sourcing, and rethink scale and product mix as they work to ensure more resilience in the future.

Global Supply Chains in a Post-Pandemic World
Harvard Business Review

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities in the production strategies and supply chains of firms everywhere. Coupled with a rise in economic nationalism, manufacturers everywhere are going to be under pressure to rethink their sourcing and logistics strategies. They need to analyze their risk exposures, and then think about how to improve their resilience. They should look beyond just relocating supply, towards harnessing process innovations and revisiting some of the trade-offs between product variety and flexibility.

Seven Things You Should Know to Understand the Supply Chain
Why have things been such a mess? For starters, there are a lot more layers than you probably imagine.
Everybody Now Wants Supply Chains to Be ‘Resilient.’ It Won’t Be Easy—or Likely
Despite the current turmoil, memories will fade, and economics will trump concerns about national vulnerabilities.
Restoring American Competitiveness
by Gary P. Pisano and Willy C. Shih, Harvard Business Review, JulyAugust 2009

For decades, U.S. companies have been outsourcing manufacturing in the belief that it held no competitive advantage. That’s been a disaster, maintain Harvard professors Pisano and Shih, because today’s low-value manufacturing operations hold the seeds of tomorrow’s innovative new products.

What those companies have been ceding is the country’s industrial commons—that is, the collective operational capabilities that underpin new product and process development in the U.S. industrial sector. As a result, America has lost not only the ability to develop and manufacture high-tech products like televisions, memory chips, and laptops but also the expertise to produce emerging hot products like the Kindle e-reader, high-end servers, solar panels, and the batteries that will power the next generation of automobiles.

To rebuild the commons and restore its wealth-generating machine will require government and industry in the United States to make two drastic changes.  Read the full article

Producing Prosperity: Why America Needs a Manufacturing Renaissance
by Gary Pisano and Willy C. Shih
Companies compete on the decisions they make. For years—even decades—in response to intensifying global competition, companies decided to outsource their manufacturing operations in order to reduce costs. But we are now seeing the alarming long-term effect of those choices: in many cases, once manufacturing capabilities go away, so does much of the ability to innovate and compete. Manufacturing, it turns out, really matters in an innovation-driven economy.

In Producing Prosperity, Harvard Business School professors Gary Pisano and Willy Shih show the disastrous consequences of years of poor sourcing decisions and underinvestment in manufacturing capabilities. They reveal how today’s undervalued manufacturing operations often hold the seeds of tomorrow’s innovative new products, arguing that companies must reinvest in new product and process development in the US industrial sector. Only by reviving this “industrial commons” can the world’s largest economy build the expertise and manufacturing muscle to regain competitive advantage. America needs a manufacturing renaissance—for restoring itself, and for the global economy as a whole.

This will require major changes. Pisano and Shih show how company-level choices are key to the sustained success of industries and economies, and they provide business leaders with a framework for understanding the links between manufacturing and innovation that will enable them to make better outsourcing decisions. They also detail how government must change its support of basic and applied scientific research, and promote collaboration between business and academia.

For executives, policymakers, academics, and innovators alike, Producing Prosperity provides the clearest and most compelling account yet of how the American economy lost its competitive edge—and how to get it back.

Research Summary
Overview
Willy's research interests reflect the 28 years he spent in industry, during which he logged many questions on firm performance, relative competitiveness, and firm culture as an impediment to change. His primary interests today are in the drivers of industrial competitiveness in high tech and science-based businesses, the impact of globalization on relative competitiveness, and the structure and evolution of global supply chains.

Industrial competitiveness in high tech and science-based businesses
How do emerging economies develop industrial and technical capabilities that overtake those of advanced economies?  Are there some industrial sectors that are especially susceptible to such targeting?  What will it take to restore America’s industrial competitiveness?  Gary Pisano and I have been looking at patterns of international performance in high tech and science-based industries.  I have focused in Asia, looking at multiple technology sectors.  I have been examining the process of capability building, and how firms there have moved from imitation to innovation, in the process capturing leadership positions in industries ranging from semiconductors and notebook computers to flat panel displays and mobile phone handsets.

Evolution of firm structure in vertical specialized technology supply chains
The global market in many everyday products has been transformed by the internationalization of production.  In many industries, semiconductors and electronic products in particular, a sequential mode of production has evolved in which goods are produced in a series of stages taking place in different countries by “vertical specialists” who pass work-in-progress across borders to the next firm in the value chain.  This multi-country production sequence has been facilitated by inexpensive and rapid communications and the low cost to transport goods, as well as declines in tariff and non-tariff barriers.  A distinguishing feature of this kind of vertical specialization is that imported inputs are used to produce export goods.  These might be components or partial subassemblies, but frequently a product might transit through dozens of firms and cross multiple frontiers before it makes it to a storefront for sale to the ultimate consumer.  We are interested in the evolution of firm structure as technological shifts drive changes in the vertical boundaries.

Knowledge flows and capability acquisition
Technological advancements are a major source of improvement in competiveness, and a firm’s incentives to invest are diminished when the knowledge generated is involuntarily dispersed to competitors.  While intellectual property rights can moderate this flow to the extent that protections are enforceable, the protection of intangible knowledge is exceedingly difficult.  Spillovers of such knowledge reduce the incentives to invest, and it has been suggested that increases in the amount of spillover both decreases industry R&D intensity and increases the equilibrium number of firms.

In the context of national competiveness, the mechanisms and rate of diffusion of knowledge to countries like China are key question for leaders and policymakers. How long does “catching up” take, or for moving importantly moving from an imitation phase to one driven by innovation? I believe there are two aligned forces that are reshaping international competition in technology – the rising level of abstraction offered in technology building blocks, coupled with the increasingly sophisticated embodiment of know-how in design and manufacturing tools.  This stream of my research is studying the efficacy of this pathway.

The course objective is to provide students perspectives and insight into one of the major political and economic development programs of China – its Belt and Road Initiative, a strategy that involves infrastructure development and investments in countries spanning Central and South Asia, Africa, and Europe.  This signature foreign policy initiative is described by the Chinese government as "a bid to enhance regional connectivity and embrace a brighter future," while some observers see it as a push to enhance China’s role in global affairs with a China-centered trading network. The course exposes students to the diversity of views across the region and beyond, combining advance study and preparation with the unique perspective that will come form on the ground observations and interactions.

Immersive Field Course: China and Taiwan
I designed this course to enable students to examine cross-strait issues between the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China—(Taiwan) at a critical juncture. Many products produced for the global marketplace—televisions, computers and computer components, smartphones, communications/processor chips, and networking equipment to name just a few have designers in Taiwan and manufacturing or assembly on the mainland. Many mainland manufacturers with huge export revenues such as Hon Hai Precision Industries (Foxconn) or Quanta Computer are Taiwan-based. This is at a time where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has set goals to increase the innovation and design content of work done on the mainland, while funding the acquisition of technology from abroad. While there is some visibility to this in Western markets, it is viewed as an existential crisis in Taiwan, something that has by and large escaped global notice outside of East Asia.
