Logistics in conditions of uncertainty

Abstract

The transport and logistics sector is one of the strategically important industries that connects not only the economic space of the country but also largely determines social stability in society and the quality of life of the population. The effective functioning of the main elements of the transport and logical system determines the pace of sustainable development of the industry, the national economy, and, finally, the level of economic security of the country. Competitiveness in the conditions of the modern world, characterized by variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity and called the VUCA world, is associated with new development opportunities and requires rapid adaptation and flexible behavior of transport and logistics enterprises. Under such conditions, the transport and logistics sector needs changes in the management system based on the use of modern methods and tools, effective forms of integration, a new look at cooperation, and consideration of the interests of stakeholders. Thus, integration processes in the form of the creation of transport and logistics clusters, and holdings provide new opportunities for innovation, effective interaction of enterprises, and increasing their competitiveness. In today's changing and uncertain conditions, only a competitive transport and logistics company capable of innovative development can function successfully. As a result, the ability to develop should be considered as its main competitive advantage, which ensures its strategic competitiveness not only in the logistics sector but also in the country's economy as a whole.
