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.engLogisticsTransport of goods with low transport susceptibilityTransportSensitivity of goodsmaster thesis203309138
