The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has been occurring since January 2020. Lock down policies,
social distancing, and
the emergence of e-commerce have created the 'new normal' of freight transport and logistics
sectors. As such, there is a
need to re-examine freight transport and logistics in light of the new business context. The theme
of this Research Topic
focuses on exploring potential trends of freight transport and logistics and developing policies and
strategies in the post
COVID-19 world. As expected, submitted research papers will contribute to strengthening our
knowledge on:- What
preparedness alternatives are required and what lessons have been discovered?- What
adaptation strategies and resilience
management are needed to be developed and implemented? National closures and quarantines
have been closing down
producers and factories in global supply chains because of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
Most global logistics firms
have undergone collapses of global supply chain operations and management. To a certain
extent, the pandemic has
uncovered vulnerabilities rooted in the rise of globalization over recent decades. Despite the
numerous academic research
studies conducted into and during the COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable and innovative freight
transport and logistics
research remain under-researched.
The consumer's relationship with retailers is no longer that of a person in need seeking something
from a giant provider.
Shifting trends have given consumers more power in the relationship, causing consumer activity to
change and forcing
retailers to adjust accordingly.
Question 3 (25 Marks)
Evaluate how challenges will require companies to adapt and modify their supply chains to
maintain profitability in this more complicated world.
