The essence of the modern transport market is its significant dynamics and high dependence on the economic environment. This requires companies to perceive their operations not only in a classic, static sense but also in a dynamic one. In practice, this means that modern management methods as well as scientific publications presenting economic indicators should be used in enterprise management.For many years, the Motor Transport Institute (ITS) in Warsaw has been conducting research on the economic situation among transport companies.1 The chart presented below illustrates the development of the amplitude of economic fluctuations in the transport market in Poland.
Generally, it can be said that this amplitude accelerated significantly in the period from 2006 to 2009. Today, Polish carriers—both those already operating in this market and those intending to start transport activities—must take such fluctuations into account when constructing their development strategies. If these companies were to familiarize themselves with the economic charts presented by the ITS in Warsaw, the situation of many enterprises would be different from what can be observed at present.
