This Team Challenge requires you to do a Research Paper on Managing Risk in Global Supply Chains, paying particular attention to how the coronavirus has affected and is affecting global supply chains. You will start by choosing an industry and getting background information on it (e.g., which companies are the biggest players in), then analyzing a single company's current Supply Chain process, the commons risks it faces, the effects of the COVID-19 virus and how this low-probability event has affected them, and your recommendations going forward.

Industry: Retailing industry Company: Target Corporation This Team Challenge requires you to do a Research Paper on Managing Risk in Global Supply Chains, paying particular attention to how the coronavirus has affected and is affecting global supply chains. You will start by choosing an industry and getting background information on it (e.g., which companies are the biggest players in), then analyzing a single company's current Supply Chain process, the commons risks it faces, the effects of the COVID-19 virus and how this low-probability event has affected them, and your recommendations going forward. You are writing this paper from the perspective of an industry observer (e.g., a research team working for a publication like Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, or the Economist). You are taking a big-to-small (top-down) approach starting at the industry level (big) and then focusing on a specific company (small). 1. Critique the company's supply chain structure in face of the pandemic. Does the current supply chain network and process expose the company to far greater risk than other types of supply chain networks? What can the company do to mitigate supply chain risk in the future? What can the company do to make its supply chain more resilient? Your answer must be factual and well-thought. Provide a detailed plan for the company and explain clearly the steps that need to be taken to turn this plan into action. 2. Discuss the pros, cons, and limitations of your analysis and approach to writing this research paper. Which part of your research paper is the strongest? What were you not able to cover as deep as you wanted and why? What were some of the research challenges for you as you gathered information for this report? Explain clearly. Acknowledge any limitations of your work. You should cite all sources in a Bibliography (APA style is fine) and inline citations are preferred over endnotes.
