(1/6) ++UPDATE++ President Biden's #EO on #American #SupplyChains is out: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…. The EO includes 100-day #supplychain reviews & sectoral #supplychain assessments to be compiled within 1 year

(2/6) The sectoral #supplychain assessments can be interpreted as a #WholeofNation approach to geo-economic risk assessment - and thus constitute a formidable methodological challenge

(3/6) #Allies and partners play a role in the #EO but it seems that the details remain to be discussed

(4/6) As I will argue in a forthcoming paper for the #ISFB2020 report by @CASSIS_Bonn #supplychainmanagement should be a strategic #transatlantic priority as #supplychain interoperability is the geo-economic equivalent of defense interoperability

(5/6) Interoperability & sustainability require #transparency. But companies cannot be "ordered" to increase transparency over night. As argued with @CarstenJaekel combining #data with #liquidity creates an important but underexploited incentive

(6/6) This proposal to combine #data and #liquidity to advance #transparency is all the more important as the #supplychain #EO hints at the role of "access to financing" as one instrument to advance supply chain resilience (end) cc @peteraltmaier
