The power structure in supply chain can make certain groups disadvantaged or privileged depending on their membership within that structure.
Some people in power don't understand how others feel or may not care what happens to them.The impact of supply chain on people comes in different forms. People and groups may hold certain cultural values that have been traditionally opposed, so they suffer the most when it's forced on them.
