Changes in transportation technology can be disruptive. A new generation of electrically$-$ powered, cargo airships could travel at $150$ kilometers per hour carry loads of $100$ tons or more, cross oceans and provide a smooth, vibrationless environment for freight.

Discuss the economic and quality attributes of cargo airships that would enable them to compete with cargo jets, container ships and trucks.

b$)$

Describe how the availability of cargo airships might affect the supply chain that you studied as part of your group project.

$($In your answer, identify the supply chain that you studied and your team number.$)$

Or

A railway strike that could cause major supply chain disruptions to Canada s trade has only been averted by government intervention.

Explain why the economie impact of a freight rail way strike in Canada would be much greater than a similar railway strike in Europe, Africa, or South America.

Describe how the railway strike in Canada might have affected the supply chain that you studied as part of your group project and what exporters$/$importers can do to minimize the impact of such supply chain disruptions.
