Labor and Supply Chain Networks

Focusing on the critical role of labor in supply chains, this book examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on societal and economic structures. It addresses key issues related to supply chain networks, including the impact of policy interventions like wage bounds on labor attraction, product pricing, and profitability. The discussion encompasses both profit-maximizing firms and non-profits, such as those in food waste management and humanitarian aid. Rich in data visualizations and mathematical methodologies, it serves as a resource for students, researchers, and policymakers.
