EDITORIAL Corona and its consequences Dear readers, For weeks, the corona virus has dominated the media landscape. Every day, the number of people infected and the deaths resulting from the disease were communicated. Regardless of the fear of the unknown infection, however, the virus also has an impact on global industry. Almost every global player now also produces in China. Due to home working, production stops and travel bans that have been imposed in the meantime, delays in the supply chains are caused. Those who currently have local storage capacities in various regions are in luck becaue they avoid this problem – and ultimately have a competitive advantage. This current situation shows the pitfalls of globalization. An epidemic that is originally local in scope has a huge impact on the lives of billions of people – and on the global economy. One can almost speak of a butterfly effect. I do not mean to condemn globalisation, but simply to say that such conditions, such as those caused by the corona virus, can hardly be planned. Hopefully the disease will soon be overcome and more predictable and healthier times are ahead.
