Resilience in Services Production Networks

Christopher Findlay

Asia and the Pacific Policy Studies, 2025, vol. 12, issue 3

Abstract: This paper examines the resilience of services production networks in the face of disruptions, comparing them to goods value chains. It explores the unique characteristics of services, their production processes, and international trade modes. The implications of these features for resilience and discusses the case for government intervention are discussed. The paper argues that while services have some inherent advantages for resilience, such as multiple delivery modes and shallow networks, new technological trends may introduce vulnerabilities. It concludes that governments should focus on removing impediments to private sector responses and reforming interventions that hinder resilience, particularly by reducing barriers to market integration and promoting data standard interoperability.
