Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon well studied by psychologists. It is predominant in people with exceptional skills, and also very common in women. It can occur for a variety of reasons, but two factors seem to be very important: family dynamics and the pressure to perform at work. Imposter syndrome can have far-reaching consequences not only for the sufferer, but also for those around him or her. When the person suffering from impostor syndrome finds themselves in a supportive environment, they can more easily overcome their feelings and give of their best.

Antony, together with his colleagues from NEOMA, presents research conducted with the University of Bristol on how international companies choose countries for sourcing. The concept of "country risk," once focused on economic conditions and political stability, now includes three major sociopolitical factors: populism, which creates regulatory uncertainty; state fragility, which affects suppliers’ ability to deliver; and checks and balances, which can limit but not always prevent political drift.
The study, covering 1,300 U.S. companies and their suppliers in 90 countries, shows that these factors directly influence sourcing decisions. Examples like Samsung and H&M illustrate this shift toward countries perceived as more stable. In conclusion, companies must strengthen their geopolitical monitoring to anticipate risks and secure their supply chains.
