Changes occurring in the global economy and the requirements regarding the functioning of business entities resulting from membership in the European Union are becoming a determinant of the strategic attitudes adopted by Polish economic organizations and significantly influence their operations.
Currently, one of the most important tasks of strategic management is creating and maintaining organizations that generate value and develop in a turbulent environment. This task is becoming increasingly difficult in the face of globalization, the accelerated pace of change, growing customer requirements, and the increasing importance of organizational efficiency. Research shows that an exceptional, effective organization is one characterized by a high degree of alignment between strategy, systems, structure, leadership style, as well as the skills and work style of the personnel. In addition to emphasizing the role of each organization’s specificity in building its competitiveness and increasing operational efficiency, great attention is paid to the importance of the environment. It is believed that today it is primarily the organization’s environment, rather than its internal production potential, that determines its development opportunities. The environment is a factor influencing the level of economic and consumer activity of economic entities by the fact that, on the one hand, it creates favorable conditions and opportunities for development, while on the other hand, it enables the emergence of conditions that become a threat to them. As a result of globalization processes, the environment of Polish enterprises has expanded significantly. This results primarily in the successive intensification of international ties, an increase in the scope and complexity of mutual economic relations, implying on the one hand an increase in the level of risk, but at the same time the emergence of new opportunities to achieve benefits resulting from the reduction of trade barriers or processes of liberalization of economic relations.
The significance of the environment’s influence on the organization therefore justifies the purposefulness of constant monitoring of changes occurring in the environment and analysis of their impact on the operating conditions of business entities. Only in such a situation will organizations be able to survive, strengthen their own positions, and increase operational efficiency.
The environment is becoming increasingly problematic for the transport industry. The national economy – developing under the influence of transport – sets it increasingly greater tasks resulting from the growing volume of production and the growing level of specialization and cooperation of production. Without the development of transport, there could be no further growth in production or growth in the social division of labor. Transport thus becomes an engine of development, but it can also become a barrier limiting economic growth.
