  • Abstract:
  • The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, sent shockwaves through global supply networks, interrupting operations and testing the resilience of enterprises in many industries. This research investigates the differing effects of COVID-19 on the supply networks of large enterprises and small businesses. This paper examines how the pandemic exacerbated existing supply chain vulnerabilities and inequities through the use of case studies, industry reports, and academic research. While large organisations frequently have more resources and leverage to prevent disruptions, they also confront complex global dependencies and more scrutiny from stakeholders. Small businesses, on the other hand, with their agility and localised operations, faced distinct obstacles due to limited resources, access to finance, and reliance on larger partners. This study uses a comparative analysis to offer insight on the differential effects of COVID-19 on supply chains, highlighting the need for tailored strategies to enhance resilience and adaptability across all tiers of the supply chain ecosystem.
