Popis: Supply chain is studied all over the world by a number of researchers who propose description models, analyze quantitatively its efficiency and, more recently, create its digital twins. In the last years, according to some unpredictable events which upset the global economy, supply chain showed the capacity to change itself according to the new constraints but, also, the new opportunities raised. Classical models developed to describe supply chain are not powerful enough to model what today I4.0 pillars allow if we use open innovation as an extraordinary amplifier. Thus, the supply chain changes shape and connections. In this perspective, the paper propose and describe a new construct of supply chain called: Liquid Supply Chain (LiSC). It takes into account also the extraordinary effects of pandemic diffusion of Covid-19 virus and its influence on the companies. A critical comparison with other existing models is proposed and discussed.
