- Abstract
COVID-19 and Global Value Chains: A Paradox Perspective B I Stephanie Schrage i b Coming as a "shock of uncommon magnitude imposed on firms with international commercial linkages" ([120], p. 444), COVID-19 paused global trade in a manner that was unthinkable before the pandemic. While organizations and their members experience these temporal tensions on a regular basis, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified these tensions in a number of ways.

As uncertainty about the size and scope of the pandemic, the duration of the pandemic, and the government's capacity to manage the pandemic has raised the saliency of tensions, organizations have been faced with the heightened urge to navigate short-term and long-term goals (see Slawinski later in the text). The pandemic provides an opportunity for us to think about innovation and paradox in a context where two exogenous events suddenly appear, namely, disruption forcing firms to make sudden changes, but also forcing firms to abandon future changes.
