Resumo(s)
The thesis deals with the transport of goods with low transport susceptibility. This
work was undertaken due to the limited amount of up to date information on the transport of
goods with low transportability, especially in Polish literature.
The main purpose of the work was to indicate the type of goods that are perceived as
the most difficult to transport on the Polish and foreign markets. An additional objectives
were aimed to indicate:
− whether the perception of the transport of goods with low transport susceptibility
on the Polish market differs significantly from the perception on the foreign
market;
− how companies perceive the difficulty of transporting goods with low transport
susceptibility;
− difference between Polish and foreign market when it comes to transport of
goods with low transport susceptibility;
− what type of cargo is perceived as most difficult to transport.
Research hypothesis was formulated as follows: Polish companies have more difficulty
transporting goods with low transport sustainability.
In empirical research was applied questionnaire method. The survey covered
companies dealing with logistics on Polish and foreign markets. The biggest research
problem was getting a sufficiently large number of responses. Inquiries were sent to 580
companies and requests to complete questionnaires were repeated several times. The author
estimates that the number of requests to complete the survey exceeded 1200. Finally as a
result of survey, 40 completed questionnaires were received, which is 6,9% response rate
taking into consideration number of companies.
The study proved that the size of the company does not influence perception of
difficulties in transporting goods with low transport susceptibility. The goods that were
considered the most difficult to transport were these that were harmful to human health. An
interesting relationship appeared between the preparation of the company for transport of
goods with low transport susceptibility and the perception of the difficulties of transport -
the better prepared for this declared a company, the higher the difficulty of transporting
goods was assessed. Research confirmed the hypothesis that Polish companies have more
problems transporting goods with low transport susceptibility comparing to foreign
researched companies.
