Strategies of logistics enterprises derive from changes taking place on the
market of production factors and consumer products. This is connected with the
secondary character of the demand for transport and storage services. In their
strategies, companies must, then, allow for certain trends occurring on the market.
These are mainly: changes in attitudes of productive and commercial companies
towards storage, manifested in the pursuit of stock reduction, the so-called mass
customization production (individualized mass production allowing to offer highly
diverse products), growing popularity of electronic commerce, internationaliza-
tion and globalization of enterprise activity manifested in an increasing exchange
of goods and greater and greater popularity and importance of corporate social
responsibility (Jeszka and Kawa 2005 ).
