STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS IN THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT UNDER CRISIS TURBULENCE

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing instability of the international environment caused by geopolitical conflicts, global economic crises, pandemics, and disruptions to traditional logistics routes. Under these conditions, international companies face the need for rapid adaptation and restructuring of supply chains to minimize risks and enhance operational efficiency. It has been identified that classical centralized management models fail to provide the necessary flexibility and resilience to external challenges. The aim of the article is to analyze the specific features of global supply chain transformation in the context of international management and to substantiate approaches to effective management of these processes under the turbulence of the external environment. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach, which involves a comprehensive study of contemporary academic sources, a comparative analysis of international logistics practices, and the application of structural-functional and economic-organizational analysis. Using these methods, changes in the architecture of logistics networks were examined, key transformation drivers were identified, and managerial models of adaptation were analyzed. Research results indicate that supply chain transformation is characterized by the regionalization of networks, diversification of routes, implementation of multimodal transport schemes, and the development of integrated information platforms. It has been established that the efficiency of logistics management under crisis conditions depends on the ability of companies to rapidly forecast risks, optimize inventory, and build strategic partnerships. It has been proven that combining flexible management models with advanced monitoring and flow control infrastructure is a key success factor. Scientific novelty lies in the systematization of approaches to managing the transformation of global supply chains in international management, taking into account crisis challenges, and in defining strategic directions to enhance their resilience. It has been revealed that the application of multi-channel models, decentralized warehouses, and digital platforms plays a decisive role in shaping adaptive supply systems. Conclusions confirm that the efficiency of logistics networks in periods of instability is ensured through a set of measures: the development of backup routes, enhanced integration of supply chain participants, improvement of inventory management systems, and real-time coordination of operations. Approaches to strengthening partnerships and creating regionally balanced logistics hubs have been proposed. Prospects for further research are related to the development of risk forecasting models for global supply chains, the analysis of the impact of regionalization on delivery speed and quality, and the search for new formats of international cooperation that can increase the resilience of logistics systems to long-term crisis challenges.
