Discussing Apple’s supply chain in the Financial Times

Enrique Dans discusses how he was asked by the Financial Times to select an article from their "Business school professors’ picks" section and create a summary and discussion questions for a class at IE Business School. He explains his methodology of using current news articles, like the one he selected on Apple's supply chain, as teaching tools instead of traditional case studies. The chosen article examines Apple's effort to shift iPhone production for the US market to India, highlighting the complexities of relocating manufacturing and the difficulty of replicating China's established industrial ecosystem despite geopolitical pressure and tariffs. The provided questions are intended to stimulate debate on the challenges and realities of global supply chains, emphasizing factors beyond labor cost.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Discussing Apple’s supply chain in the Financial Times«
