Resumen

La pandemia COVID-19 ha creado problemas a las empresas que venden a otros países y/o compran artículos en el extranjero en lo que respecta a la importación de mercancías y al transporte de sus propios productos a clientes y mercados extranjeros. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el presente artículo analiza las causas de las perturbaciones y rupturas de la cadena de suministro debidas al desarrollo la pandemia, así como los métodos que utilizaron las empresas para afrontarlas. El artículo señala que, en adelante, los actores de las empresas internacionales harán más hincapié en la gestión de riesgos y planes de continuidad empresarial, y que cobrará fuerza la adopción de formas digitales avanzadas a la hora de recoger información del mercado y la vigilancia de la cadena de suministro. De manera paralela se espera que, en lugar de una oleada de relocalizaciones, se puede prever para el futuro una forma de deslocalización con varios niveles: una forma de multi-localización en varios continentes y, en ocasiones, dentro de un solo continente.
