أثر جائحة كورونا على سلاسل التوريد الدولية لشركات اللاجئين السوريين في غازي عنتاب وإسطنبول

This study aims to determine the flexibility dimension of international supply chains for the companies of refugees in Turkey during the global epidemic Corona (COVID-19), which has caused changes all over the world, including the activities of commercial and industrial companies. Thus, it will be determined to what extent the companies of refugees have been affected by the closures. This includes the full and sanitary isolation operations implemented at the international level by governments to limit or reduce the movement of resources and products in international areas. The sub-objectives are to identify the resilience of international supply chains and their response to global crises (information, raw materials, inventory, processing, physical distribution and transport) by emphasizing the impact of refugees' companies on the activities of international supply chains. As a case study tool; In order to obtain measurable data, it was taken with personal observation to be a data collection tool as well as long interviews with company managers. Especially (Istanbul and Gaziantep) it is the starting center for research. The most important findings of the study are that the closures led exporters and importers to diversify their sources and manufacturers established facilities close to their home markets. It is the tendency of exporters and importers to shorten the distances and get closer. Geographically, they have begun to narrow their market, that is, the geographical distances between the beginning and the end of the chain. On the other hand, there have been huge financial losses, almost liquidation and bankruptcy, and additional costs have arisen throughout the stages of the chain. The pandemic has had a very negative impact on the companies and movements of refugees. As the results show, many have experienced this.
