Abstract
The complexity of global value chains, which have come to dominate international trade due to trends of globalisation, trade liberalisation and technological advancements, make them highly vulnerable to disruptions, particularly geopolitical crises, which are increasingly frequent and severe. As a result, researchers and industry stakeholders are focusing more on the concept of resilience, with particular attention needed on the maritime industry as a crucial link in most global value chains. This master’s thesis examines how maritime companies build resilience to geopolitical crises through a comparative case study analysis of their responses to the Ukraine war and the Red Sea crisis using a selected framework of resilience strategies. The analysis shows that maritime companies build resilience with all tools outlined in the framework, yet certain patterns of responses emerge that the framework fails to fully capture. Moreover, companies are more aware of the growing global instability and unpredictability and are adopting an increasingly risk-focused approach to their operations. Based on these findings, an extended framework with additional tools is proposed to better fit the specifics of the maritime industry in an increasingly geopoliticised world. The thesis contributes to the study of resilience and the broader field of international relations by offering valuable insights for other industries, an extended framework of resilience strategies, and a starting point for further research on resilience of not only companies and their value chains but also countries as important actors in the global business environment.

Title:Odpornost pomorskih podjetij na geopolitične krize : magistrsko delo
Abstract:
Kompleksnost globalnih vrednostnih verig, ki so zaradi globalizacije, liberalizacije trgovine in tehnološkega napredka postale prevladujoča oblika mednarodne trgovine, jih dela izjemno ranljive za motnje, zlasti za geopolitične krize, ki so vse pogostejše in hujše. Zaradi tega se tako raziskovalci kot tudi deležniki v industriji vse bolj osredotočajo na koncept odpornosti, pri čemer je treba posebno pozornost nameniti pomorski industriji kot ključnemu členu večine globalnih verig vrednosti. To magistrsko delo preučuje, kako pomorska podjetja gradijo odpornost na geopolitične krize, in sicer s primerjalno analizo primerov njihovih odzivov na vojno v Ukrajini in krizo v Rdečem morju ter z izbranim okvirom strategij odpornosti. Analiza pokaže, da pomorska podjetja gradijo odpornost z vsemi orodji, opisanimi v okviru, vendar se pojavljajo določeni vzorci odzivov, ki jih okvir ne zajema v celoti. Poleg tega so podjetja vse bolj pozorna na naraščajočo globalno nestabilnost in nepredvidljivost ter se v svojem pristopu k poslovanju vedno bolj osredotočajo na tveganja. Na podlagi teh ugotovitev delo predlaga razširjen okvir z dodatnimi orodji, ki bolje ustreza posebnostim pomorske industrije v vse bolj geopolitiziranem svetu. Delo prispeva k preučevanju odpornosti in širšemu področju mednarodnih odnosov s pomembnimi spoznanji za druge industrije, razširjenim okvirom strategij odpornosti ter izhodiščem za nadaljnje raziskave odpornosti ne le podjetij in njihovih vrednostnih verig, temveč tudi držav kot pomembnih akterjev v globalnem poslovnem okolju.
