This paper examines the critical vulnerabilities in global supply chains revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic and reviews strategies for enhancing resilience and recovery. Key focus areas include the role of digital technologies, adaptive logistics, and ethical considerations in supply chain management. The paper highlights the need for scalable solutions that are accessible to companies of all sizes, the integration of both supply and demand-side dynamics, and the development of comprehensive resilience frameworks. By identifying gaps in current research and proposing future directions, this review aims to create more robust, adaptable, and ethical global supply chains capable of withstanding future disruptions.
