In an op-ed, Jerry Haar, professor of international business, wrote
that in the aftermath of the global pandemic and in light of increasing
tensions between the U.S. and China, "nearshoring" has emerged as
a major issue in global production and distribution. "Still another factor
leading to shortages was production disruptions due to China's strict
lockdowns, which were hastily implemented, and the shutdown of
Chinese manufacturing facilities with little notice," he wrote.

A story about the increased flexibility of working from home in certain
areas of the U.S., quoted Ravi Gajendran, professor of global leadership

remote work," he said.

A story about a massive cybersecurity incident in Australia that
temporarily closed major seaports, quoted Craig Austin, associate
teaching professor of logistics and supply chain management, who

each successful attack represents millions of dollars in costs. "Prior to
the pandemic, a number of companies never realized how important a
well-functioning supply chain is," he said.

A story about the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting quoted
Dan Prud'homme, assistant professor of international business, who
explained that many of the companies attending the event would try to
convince China that they are in industries that should not be targeted
by the current political tensions. "If Xi is going to meet these business
leaders at this summit, they'll be looking for signals that the U.S.-China
relationship is thawing," he said.

one," she said.

go on vacation to Dallas," he said.

and algorithms," she said.
